The scarcity of water resources is growing on the planet

in #hd7 years ago

Experts at the World Water Summit in Stockholm sounded the alarm. Whatever the point of the globe, having a quality water resource becomes increasingly difficult
Ensuring the access of all humanity to quality and quantity of water by 2050, as one of the sustainable development goals (SDOs) proclaims, is not gained. Not only remains 633 million landowners to satisfy, but in addition the tendency is rather to a rarefaction and an almost universal degradation of this resource. This is reflected in the mass of studies and reports gathered on the occasion of the World Water Week which brought together more than 3,200 experts since Sunday in Stockholm
The first culprit, the global warming, which is illustrated by increasingly frequent periods of drought, which are synonymous with water scarcity, all the way to Europe. As was seen this summer in Rome, where it was necessary to ration.

Climate deregulation is also disrupting the distribution of rain on the globe. The cloud cover tends to thicken in areas close to the poles and to thin out in the equatorial regions (sub-Saharan Africa, Central America and the Middle East), which suffer from the lack of rainfall. Conversely, they are occurring more and more suddenly in some areas, triggering monstrosity. In Bangladesh, 5.7 million people are regularly affected. The number of people exposed to such a risk of flooding may rise to 54 million by 2030 in the current 21 million.
