Grappling with the Global Water Crisis

By: McHale, Kolby

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

The water crisis refers to the decreasing amount of fresh water available for drinking compared to the amount of consumption needs for humans. Only 3 percent of the Earth's water supply is available for drinking water. Fresh water usually comes from ponds, lakes, bogs, rivers and streams. The world's supply and demand for fresh water increases with overpopulation issues, climate issues and more. Currently, many countries have water usage restrictions in place such as only watering a lawn on certain days or limiting the length of shower usage. Some solutions to the water crisis include desalination plants, LifeSaver bottles and monitoring sustainable development efforts.
