AB  - Global value chains and climate change have a significant impact on water 
      resources and increasingly threaten freshwater ecosystems. Recent methodological 
      proposals for life cycle impact assessment (LCIA), evaluate water use impacts on 
      freshwater habitats based on river hydraulic parameters alterations. However, 
      they are limited to French rivers due to lack of global data and models. On this 
      basis, this article proposes an approach to compute regionalized characterization 
      factors for modeling river habitat change potential (HCP) induced by water 
      consumption, potentially applicable worldwide. A simplified model is developed 
      for fish guilds and invertebrates. Based on French datasets, it establishes a 
      relationship between HCP and river hydraulic parameters. A methodology to derive 
      discharge and hydraulic geometry at the reach scale is proposed and applied to 
      European and Middle Eastern rivers below 60 degrees N latitude. Regionalized HCPs are 
      calculated at the river reach scale and aggregated at watershed. Then, the impact 
      of agricultural water use in contrasted European and Middle Eastern countries is 
      evaluated comparing the outcomes from the HCP and the Available Water Remaining 
      (AWARE) models at the national scale, considering water supply mix data. The same 
      analysis is carried out on selected river basins. Finally, result consistency, 
      uncertainty and global applicability of the overall approach are discussed. The 
      study demonstrates the reproducibility of the impact model developed for French 
      rivers on any hydrographic network where comparable ecological, hydrological and 
      hydraulic conditions are met. Furthermore, it highlights the need to characterize 
      impacts at a higher spatial resolution in areas where HCP is higher. Large scale 
      quantification of HCP opens the way to the operationalization of mechanistic LCIA 
      models in which the habitat preferences of freshwater species are taken into 
      account to assess the impacts of water consumption on biodiversity.
