Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The world has entered a new era of ‘water bankruptcy’ with irreversible
consequences
Whatever you spend more than you get, you’ll run out of it sooner or
later, whether it’s money, food, or water. If we use more water than it is naturally
replenished by rain and snow, we’ll face water scarcity, or in the worst case,
water bankruptcy. According to a new report by the UN, the term water crisis
can no longer describe how serious water scarcity is now around the world
because we are extracting too much water from rivers, lakes, wetlands, and
underground aquifers at a much faster rate than they are replenished. In
addition, climate change has put some regions severely drier for longer,
including the Southwest USA, South Asia, the Mediterranean region, and Southern
Africa. As the world population increases, urbanization expands, and more data
centers are being built for AI, the world needs to work more on conservation
than consumption.
Read the article and learn how serious the global water crisis is.
