SUMMARY OF ISSUE
Many experts believe that in the near future water will become a commodity just like Gold and Oil. Some experts say that wars will be fought over who owns the water supply. Currently, one third of humans have inadequate access to clean, fresh water. The number is expected to increase by to up to two thirds by 2050. That is that two thirds of the worlds population will not have access to clean water. Over population, demand and pollution from industry is to blame.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
This is important because water is one of the more essential basic needs for survival and to imagine two thirds of the population will not be supplied with adequate amounts of clean water in my lifetime is astonishing.
