Explanation:
Water is needed in all aspects of life. Difficult to purify, expensive to transport and impossible to substitute,
water is an indispensable element of life. Renewable fresh water is an increasingly scarce commodity and
the amount of fresh water actually available to people is finite. The general objective is to make certain,
that adequate supplies of water of good quality are maintained, for the entire population of this planet,
while preserving the hydrologic, biological, and chemical functions of the ecosystems, adapting human
activities within the capacity limits of nature and combating vectors of water related diseases. Without
sufficient water, economic development becomes virtually impossible and conflict over scarce resources
virtually inevitable. Regional and local water shortages have always existed because of the inequalities of
the hydrological cycle, but a global view also indicates that the entire hydrologic cycle is nearing the limits
of use and therefore, even the water surplus countries will very soon start experiencing water shortages.
United Nation Organization has given top priority to the problem of water scarcity and sanitation. This is
because:
· The subsurface water table level is shrinking in all the continents of the world.
· Agricultural lands are becoming saline.
· Increasing pollution of surface and sub-surface waters.
· Nearly 45 crores of people in 29 countries are staying in water-deficit regions.
· More than 100 crores of people are not getting safe drinking water.
· Nearly half of the world’s population is lacking water purification plants.
· In the Third World countries nearly 50 % of its diseases are due to the use of contaminated water.
· Nearly 70 % of the fresh water is used for irrigating the agricultural fields which has raised water
conflict between the urban and rural areas.
If all this continues, then very soon i.e. by 2032, nearly half of the world’s population will be facing water
