    Global Water Scarcity and Requirement of Water Desalination

    Uploaded by

    Lakmali Gunasekara
    The document discusses global water scarcity and the need for water desalination. It states that water scarcity is a major global issue due to factors like population growth, development, and climate change. Many developing countries currently experience physical and economic water scarcity. Water demand is expected to significantly increase in the future, especially in developing nations. Fresh water supplies are now limited and depleting in many areas, so desalination and other methods will be important for ensuring future water supply.

    Global Water Scarcity and Requirement of Water Desalination

    Water, a crucial natural resource, has reportedly seen a rising drop in its availability for meeting
    fundamental human and environmental needs over the previous decades, resulting in scarcity.
    This puts even more strain on the world's finite freshwater resources, resulting in water stress in
    many parts of the world—a scenario that is often regarded as the most important global concern
    of the twenty-first century. The continuously increasing global population (especially in
    developing countries), industrialization and economic development, and changing consumption
    patterns, as well as other external factors such as climate change and migration, are said to be the
    major drivers exacerbating the growing challenge of global water scarcity [4,5].

    Many people in developing countries are currently experiencing a combination of physical and
    economic water scarcity. Overall, the current worldwide water scarcity crisis is apparently
    becoming more severe as demand rises over time, particularly in emerging economies, where
    agriculture, industry, and urban expansion are stated to be rapidly evolving. According to a
    United Nations research [4], worldwide water demand is expected to increase significantly in the
    future years across all water use sectors, with the majority of this expansion occurring in
    developing nations around the world.

    Water is essential for life, because without it, civilizations would cease to exist and the Earth
    would be a barren wasteland. Water is regarded as a plentiful natural resource on the planet. 3/4
    of the surface is covered in water. However, salty sea water makes for 97 percent of available
    water on Earth, with freshwater accounting for barely 3%. Humans and animals are supplied
    with a little amount of the available water. [1] Natural fresh water is in short supply in many
    countries throughout the world. Because of rising population rates and higher living standards, as
    well as the increase of industrial and agricultural operations, more fresh water will be required in
    the future. Fresh water supplies from rivers and groundwater are now restricted and are rapidly
    depleting in many areas. [2] As a result, water conservation, reuse, rainwater harvesting, storm
    water utilization, and desalination are crucial for the future of humanity's water supply.
