Water is the single most important element in the world and a vital source of life. Less than 1 percent of the Earth’s fresh water supply is fit for human consumption, and much of that is being compromised by over utilization, contamination and climatic influences.
WHAT IS THE FUSS ABOUT?
By 2030, 700 million people could be displaced by INTENSE water scarcity

By the year 2040 there will not be enough water in the world to quench the thirst of the world population and keep the current energy and power solutions going if we continue doing what we are doing today.
Over the past 40 years the world’s population has doubled and use of water has quadrupled.
Water demand is projected to grow 55% by 2050 (including a 400% rise in manufacturing water demand).
Agriculture accounts for ~70% of global freshwater withdrawals and up to 90% in some fast-growing economies.
