Environment Tweeters for Water Crisis

Posted on the January 9th, 2010 under Book, Environment, Social Media by (Beaulife) Altis Lo

With escalating population and high living standards, water scarcity is hitting the World. Though our planet is blessed with three-fourth water, the irony is, only a small amount can be used for drinking purpose. While some corners of the globe have sufficient ground water supplies, there are places marked by severe water crisis. One of the primary reasons that is often pinpointed as the culprit behind the water shortage is the sudden change in climatic condition.

Our forefathers knew it. Ancient civilization further brings home the point – water is an absolute necessity. With the population increasing at a break-neck speed, artificial farming became inevitable but sources of water supply remained limited. The consequences were therefore quite expected – over drafting of natural ground water led to water scarcity. Miles and miles of land, which were once covered with trees now lie barren – due to deforestation. It’s now our turn to pay the price – face severe water scarcity. Research conducted by non-profit humanitarian organizations like Global Water, highlighted non accessibility of safe drinking water to be the chief cause of hunger, poverty and disease throughout the world.
