ABSTRACT

Water is one of the world’s most valuable resources. It’s the lifeblood of agriculture, essential to the generation of power, the preventer of disease, and the curator of pollution. Yet, it is under a constant threat because of climate change and resulting drought, explosive population growth, and mere waste. By 2025, an estimated two-thirds of the global population will not have access to clean water. Communities around the world simply cannot be fed or fueled without sustainable water supplies. The water crisis is very real-and the magnitude of this global challenge is growing rapidly.
