WATER DISTRIBUTION
spatially distributed unevenly across the globe. 66% of the world’s population live in areas which only have access to 25% of the world’s annual rainfall. Conflict can further limit accessibility to water sources
CONSEQUENCES OF WATER INSECURITY
As a result of a limited supply, the price of clean water has increased in certain regions, and may increase globally in the future.
Water is very important in economic productivity, crop yield and manufacturing capacity.
Agriculture consumes around 67% of all water extractions and industrial water consumption is on the rise especially in developing and industrialising countries.
Fields and grazing lands are dependent on rainwater and aquaculture (fish farming) has been on the rise as wild fish supplies have diminished. Over 20% of all extracted water is used in industries and for energy production
