While the amount of freshwater on the planet has remained fairly constant over time—continually recycled through the atmosphere and back into our glass, the population has exploded. This means that every year competition for a clean, supply of water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and sustaining life intensifies.

In much of the developing world wide, clean water is hard to come by and requires laborious work or significant currency to obtain. Water Is Life and needed to survive. Unfortunately, humans have proved to be inefficient water users. (The average hamburger takes 2,400 liters, or 630 gallons, of water to produce, and many water-intensive crops, such as cotton, are grown in arid regions.)

According to the United Nations, water use has grown at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century. By 2025, an estimated 1.8 billion people will live in areas plagued by water scarcity, this does not include or take into consideration of the effect the Galactic Alignment will have on Earth and our surface. 
 
The challenge we face now is how to conserve, manage, and distribute the water we have.  Learn where freshwater resources exist; how they are used; and how climate, technology, policy, and people play a role in both creating obstacles and finding solutions. Water purification will be vital in the near future.
