    WATER CRISIS C

    By Sirene Elnakib g6 cis


    What is water crisis
    Water crisis is water deficiency or a lack of safe water supplies. As the population of the world grows and
    the environment becomes further affected by climate change, access to fresh drinking water dwindles.
    Globally, 785 million people lack access to clean drinking water.
    Cause of water crisis
    Climate change. Unsurprisingly, climate change is one of the main reasons behind the global water
    crisis. ...
    Natural disasters. ...
    War and conflict. ...
    Wastewater. ...
    Water waste. ...
    Lack of water data. ...
    Lack of international cooperation on shared water sources. ...
    Lack of infrastructure.
    Consequences of water crisis
    people can't get enough to drink, wash, or feed crops, and economic decline may occur. In addition,
    inadequate sanitation—a problem for 2.4 billion people—can lead to deadly diarrheal diseases, including
    cholera and typhoid fever, and other water-borne illnesses.
    What is Saudi Arabia doing to stop water
    crisis
    In 2019, the Saudi Arabian government launched a national water program, Qudrah . Qudrah , part of the
    Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture, aims to cut water consumption by about 43% to 150 liters
    per capita, per day by 2030[13], by encouraging change in individual behavior by raising awareness of the
    issue .
    Global perspectives
    The 21st century brings a new set of issues and threats to the Great Lakes that go beyond the basiurgent need for holistic solutions. We must n. We are witnessing irreparable harm to our
    planet’s resources, pushing them to unsustainable limits. These threats are more extreme and more intense, highlighting the be adaptable, approaching these issues with fresh ideas to
    prevent the disappearance of our precious natural resources.

    The world population has reached seven billion. Currently, more than one billion people lack access to clean drinking water and sanitation. More than 3.4 million people die each year from
    water-related disease and many are children.

    The need for clean, accessible drinking water along with the demands of a growing world population will place more burdens on our natural resources. Additionally, developing countries
    are increasing their consumptive uses. Water security continues to be an unrelenting issue.

    Regional water shortages such as those occurring in China, Australia and Africa have in some cases been linked to climate change. The U. S. and Canada are not immune. Texas, Alberta,
    and several western states are predicted to endure future water shortages, while some water legislation already over-allocates resources without room for safeguards and management.

    The water-intensive processes involved in energy operations are also concerns as energy usage increases further pushing our resources to the brink. And issues of water quality and quantity
    persist in and around our communities.

    Feeding and fueling the world as well as keeping pace with increasing consumptive demands of growing world economies will place the burden squarely upon fresh, clean water never
    before seen in human history. Consider that the Great Lakes account for over 20% of all fresh surface water in the world. The pressure from political, economic and social forces to divert
    water from the Great Lakes will be immense. Maintaining the quality and water levels of the Great Lakes Basin and protecting the water rights of its citizens through all of this in the 21st
    century will be a challenge
    In the end I think we should do something to stop water crisis.
