Icebergs are the solution to the world’s water crisis, according to some. We simply need to float them to the places of greatest need with the aid of tugboats. Icecaps contain double the fresh water of the world’s lakes and rivers, which all goes to waste when they break free and melt into the salty ocean. With 85% of humans living in earth’s driest places, many located along the equator, icebergs would need to be tugged a long way. Georges Mougin spent a lifetime trying to make it feasible.
Though 71% of earth is covered by oceans, lakes, and rivers, more than 10% of people lack clean water. Significant progress has been made since 1990, with one-third of humans gaining access to improved water. Focused effort over the past 15 years as a Millennium Development Goal made a world of difference for 2.6 billion people. The Sustainable Development Goal over the next 15 years is to ensure liquid gold for the remaining 660 million.
There is enough freshwater for the planet’s population today, though it’s not located where the majority of people live, it’s polluted, and it’s poorly managed. An additional 4 billion inhabitants before the end of the century will drive up the number of people living in water-scarce regions from 36% today to 50% by 2050.
People experience water stress in developing and developed countries alike. Many California residents are asked to reduce consumption as the state heads into its 5th year of drought, though 70% is swallowed up by farmers. Outdated water rights and regulations are a huge part of the problem, and subsidies encourage mismanagement, including the selection of crops with huge irrigation demands. With river basins drying up, California farmers are drilling wells to suck dry critical underground water tables.
A large amount of our fruits, vegetables, and nuts are grown in California, and food prices are skyrocketing as North America’s food basket shrivels up. Part of the challenge is that consumers demand water-intensive foods. A single walnut needs 5 gallons, or 19 liters, of water to produce it, while one tomato demands just over 3 gallons. Meat takes water consumption into a whole new stratosphere – 1,000 gallons to create a single steak.
