Correction to: Nature Sustainability https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-019-0294-2, published online 3 June 2019.
In the version of this Analysis originally published, in the section ‘Trends in global water demand’, the percentage increase in agricultural area equipped for irrigation was incorrect: the text ‘rose by 48% from 270 to 400×106 ha’ should have read ‘rose by 50% from 220 to 330×106 ha’; this has now been corrected.
