自2020年以来，COVID-19改变了世界，特别是水领域，提高科学生产力(就发表的文章而言)。本文重点研究了COVID-19对四个水变量的科学生产力的影响：（i）废水，（二）可再生水资源，(iii)淡水抽取，和(四)获得改善和安全的饮用水。首先回顾了该领域的文献，然后建立了地图，强调COVID-19与水相关变量之间的紧密联系。共有94个国家的出版物评估了COVID-19与考虑并评估了水的聚集方式。研究的最后一步表明,平均而言,关于水主题的科学生产力大多是在COVID-19感染率较低但以人均国内生产总值（GDP）和人类发展指数（HDI）为代表的发展水平较高的国家进行的。根据统计分析,与水相关的变量非常重要，具有正系数。这证实了水相关价值较高的国家对与COVID-19的关系进行了更多的研究。废水和淡水抽取对COVID-19的科学生产力影响最大。在存在开发参数的情况下，获得安全饮用水变得微不足道。
COVID-19 has changed the world since 2020, and the field of water specifically, boosting scientific productivity (in terms of published articles). This paper focuses on the influence of COVID-19 on scientific productivity with respect to four water variables: (i) wastewater, (ii) renewable water resources, (iii) freshwater withdrawal, and (iv) access to improved and safe drinking water. The field\'s literature was firstly reviewed, and then the maps were built, emphasizing the strong connections between COVID-19 and water-related variables. A total of 94 countries with publications that assess COVID-19 vs. water were considered and evaluated for how they clustered. The final step of the research shows that, on average, scientific productivity on the water topic was mostly conducted in countries with lower COVID-19 infection rates but higher development levels as represented by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and the human development index (HDI). According to the statistical analysis, the water-related variables are highly significant, with positive coefficients. This validates that countries with higher water-related values conducted more research on the relationship with COVID-19. Wastewater and freshwater withdrawal had the highest impact on the scientific productivity with respect to COVID-19. Access to safe drinking water becomes insignificant in the presence of the development parameters.
