Short summary
By coupling PLUS-InVEST models under 24 climate-land scenarios, we constructed a water supply-demand risk (WSDR) assessment framework to quantify impacts of climate change and anthropogenic activities on water resource allocation patterns and associated risks. Results demonstrate that significant cultivated land expansion drives a surge in water demand. The root cause lies in frequent anthropogenic perturbations (land use change), which intensify conflicts between water demand-supply capacity.
