It might be useful to map out approximately how these different types of water-related poverty occur in basins. I did this on the back of an envelope a few days ago and it helped me organize my thoughts. The 5 types seemed to map out simply. Type 2 is quite widespread. Type 3 [vulnerability] is serious but restricted geographically. Type 4 [low water productivity] seemed very widespread.
This assessment was totally subjective. It could be improved further by reference to within-basin analysis. In this way, we'd have a more-or-less global scale assessment but with a reasonable connection to conditions in basin. I think people would find that very useful.
