Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet water demand. It affects every continent and was listed in 2015 by the World Economic Forum as the largest global risk in terms of potential impact over the next decade.It is manifested by partial or no satisfaction of expressed demand, economic competition for water quantity or quality, disputes between users, irreversible depletion of groundwater, and negative impacts on the environment. One-thirds of the global population (2 billion people) live under conditions of severe water scarcity at least 1 month of the year.Half a billion people in the world face severe water scarcity all year round. Half of the world’s largest cities experience water scarcity.
