Water Scarcity
The Global Water Crisis
The Global Water Crisis
Currently, nearly 1 billion people don't have access to clean, safe drinking water. Still, we take it for granted. We waste it, and even pay too much money to drink it from small plastic bottles. This has become a problem called the Global Water Crisis.
Water Usage
The water used in the production of things we use everyday such as clothes, paper, cotton, etc., amounts to about 167 liters daily. Water used in the production of our food amounts to 3,496 liters per person daily. The massive amounts of water going into the production of these items is called Virtual Water and no one even notices it.
