Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
A future of thirst: Water crisis lies on the horizon
As the world population increases at a historic pace, so does the consumption of food and water. Also, the amount of water for industrious use and home utilities such as toilet flush and gardening is expected to grow accordingly as modern life style becomes more popular among the increasing population. Then a simple question arises. Will people and the world get enough water?
There is also a scary scenario that Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned in a report in March. Climate change would further threaten the world water security such as water availability, water demand and pollution that already suffers roughly 80 percent of the world's population. The impact on climate change is expected to make wet countries wetter and dry countries drier.
Enjoy reading and learning how water shortage would affect the world security.
