How Can We Satisfy A Growing Demand?

According to the International Water Management Institute environmental research organisation global water stress is increasing, and a third of all people face some sort of water scarcity. Where demand exceeds supply and no effective management operates, there will be conflicts between the various players involved.

Water is one of the most precious resources, which support the life of almost everything in the world. Indeed, the world is covered by 75% water, but most of this water is not suitable for human consumption or use. On the same note, the world has been increasing its consumption of water due to the increasing population, leading to increased demands. The increased water consumption, which has been a result of high population, is worrying because the matter may lead to massive water shortages in the future.

Industries are expected to use 265 billow cubic meters of water per year (Doc. D). With that said, there is several industries that rely on water (Doc. D). At the same time, the need for water in agriculture decreases and the need for water in domestic issues gradually increases, while the need for water in industries frantically increases (Doc. C). The requirement of water in industries keeps climbing high year after year as the water supply drops. Moreover, many industries must-have a sizeable quantum of water, which drives the water crisis.

The world’s supply of water is in steep decline as more and more is being used each year by more and more people around the globe. Currently, 800 million people do not have access to a drinking source. At the current rate, 1.8 billion people could be living in areas of absolute water scarcity by 2025.

The goal of this paper is intended to provide the legal, political, social, economic, ecological dimensions of water resource policy

Around the world our water supply is depleting. Our water is becoming contaminated making it harmful for both mammals and aquatic life. Today over one billion people go without adequate water supply and every fifteen seconds a child dies of waterborne illness. Sources of water that once supplied water to millions can no longer meet the supply and demand of the water need. Scientist predict that the amount of useful water will keep depleting greatly in the years to come. In the next couple of pages it will talk about both the geological and human reasons as to why are water supply is depleting.

There is a water crisis which faces many parts of the world and it is a threat to survival of human beings since humans are primarily dependent on water. Shortage in drinking water is beginning to show its effects in first world countries, but is a current major problem facing lesser developed countries which have not taken drastic steps to harvest water and purify it to make it safe for human consumption. In developed countries the population growth has strained available water resources and stretched the ability of governments and private firms to provide safe drinking water to the vast majority of the population. Seventy one percent of

Some areas of the world are already considered water stressed. In areas that are water stressed, the amount of sustainable water is running low. The people in these regions are in need of new and clean water to start being present. According to Roberts, “By 2050 more than half the world’s

Many people know that water is essential for human-being and it is not only valuable for health and life, but water is also important for industry and agriculture. Furthermore, use of water has a spiritual, cultural and recreational dimension. However, water resources are not infinite. Wide and inefficient use of water resources can lead to irreversible consequences, such as water shortage. This essay will firstly discuss the problem of water shortage on examples of developed and developing countries and include the diversification of the same issue in the different parts of the world. It will also identify causes and effects of this environmental problem on society and other spheres of life. Moreover, in this essay I am going to propose

In the water sector, which is a special concern for this research, it is predicted that the water supply conditions in all regions and sectors in the world are likely

Solving the global water crisis moves beyond the technical feasibility stage.(2011). Trends Magazine, (104), 19-24.

Fresh drinking water makes up a small portion of the total water that is on Earth. Only 2.5 percent of all the water on Earth can be classified as fresh drinking water, while the rest of the water on Earth is saline. On top of only being a very small amount of fresh drinking water available on Earth, less than half of this water is accessible. Because of human’s inefficient use of water coupled with our exploding population the amount of water available to humans has continued to decrease. Water needs to be conserved, managed, and distributed effectively and water privatization is not the solution.

This paper will explore the following research topic: “Historical Perspective on Hydrology and sustainable water Development in 100 years ago and how it contributed to Global water crisis.” Before we deliberate more on this research topic it is good to note that the fresh water that exists in the surface of earth

In this present world, some emerging issues should be taken in consideration for future planning as these issues are going to increase day by day in near future. These most important issues are: rising population, increasing urbanization, growth in development and climate change. According to United Nations Department of Economy And Social Affairs (UNDESA), the projected increase of global water

By the year 2025 it is predicted that, “1800 million people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity and that two-thirds of the world population could be under stress conditions caused by water scarcity”(IFAD). This data suggests an imminent and terrifying reality, earth is slowly running out of drinkable fresh water. This reality will most likely cause wars, starvation, and death for water is vital for human life with 20 to 50 liters needed daily to sustain basic human functions (IFAD). Unless we find a solution to this international human crisis, life as we know it will not be sustainable. Fortunately, scientists across the globe have made its their mission to prevent this crisis from occurring through
