Water: Where will we be in 25 Years?
There are many aspects of the world around us that humans need to exist. The earth under our feet grows the crops that we eat and the sky gives us the air that we breathe. The third side to this triangle of nature, water, is absolutely essential.
Seventy five percent of the planet is covered to some depth with water and yet there are so many ways that this substance is being wasted or mismanaged. Because of overpopulation, mass consumption, misuse, and water pollution, the availability of drinking water is inadequate and shrinking. UNESCO’s World Water Development report from its World Water Assessment Program indicates that the quantity of water available now sits at just 30%. Water has even become a strategic resource and has led many to predict that water will become the “next oil.”
