Climate Change Poses Existential Water Risks
We often hear it said that climate change is too abstract to win the support needed to effectively combat it.
But the primary way we will experience climate change is through the water cycle – through droughts, floods, depleted rivers, shrinking reservoirs, dried-out soils, melting glaciers, loss of snowpack and overall shortages of water to grow our food and supply our cities.
NG
Water Scarcity
As a result, some 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to water, and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year. Inadequate sanitation is also a problem for 2.4 billion people—they are exposed to diseases, such as cholera and typhoid fever, and other water-borne illnesses. Two million people, mostly children, die each year from diarrheal diseases alone.

Why fresh water shortages will cause the next great global crisis
Water is the driving force of all nature, Leonardo da Vinci claimed. Unfortunately for our planet, supplies are now running dry – at an alarming rate.

With all of the Glaciers world wide disappearing, it is only natural that fresh inland water is less and less and natural or manmade reservoirs don't refill themselves like they used to.

That and the fracking that is sending the water deeper into the earth where it cannot return to the sky.

Like what they want to use for cars and nuclear fusion?

This freshwater crisis is nonsense. It's only a crisis because control of freshwater means control of money and population. Graphene is the solution. But don't let Nestle hear you talking about it!

I think there is a fresh water crisis in third world countries like Africa...and polluted countries like China & Mexico...the rest of the world I assume are doing okay with water...except California where water is becoming a scarce resource
