It is troublesome that we would be discussing of water crisis, problems or insufficiency when two-third part of our world is comprised of water. Of the entire bulk of water on earth, only 2.5 per cent is suitable and fresh specifically for agriculture and human use. It makes usable water a limited resource.
Of this 2.5%, about 99% is overly involved in icebergs, underground or glaciers. Only one percent of fresh water is consequently accessible to the almost 7 billion human populations and an innumerable other forms of life. This little fraction of fresh water is unequally distributed thru the world. Thus, some individuals have too much, whereas others have almost none.
People Lacking Water
One out of five people lack availability to safe drinking water, specifically 1.1 billion people, and more than 2 out of 5 lacks sufficient sanitation, namely 2.6 billion individuals around 3800 children die on each day from water borne disorders. One should know that these statistics signify only people with extreme poor conditions. Indeed, these statistics should be much higher.
Towards A Way To Improve The Whole Situation
The water catastrophe witness nowadays is not regarding having too scarce water to fulfill our needs but relatively a crisis of poor management of water.
Whatever the consumption of fresh water (domestic, industry, agriculture use) massive saving of water and developing of water management is promising. Almost anywhere, water is wasted, and as long as individuals are not facing scarcity of water, the believe availability to water is a natural and obvious aspect. With changes in attitude, lifestyle and urbanization, water usage is bound to increase.
Though, changes in food habits, for instance, may lessen the problem, familiar with the fact that growing 1kg of potatoes needs only 100 liters of water, while 1kg of beef needs 13 000 liters.
Trans-Boundary Cooperation
Insofar as trans-boundary conflicts are related, cultural preservation and regional economic development can all be reinforced by states conjoining on water-related concerns? In preference to a tendency towards war, water management can be observed as a trend towards peace and cooperation.
