Our global water future: a critical strategic resource challenge.
Globally, the statistics are daunting:
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
* One in five of our planet's human family--some 1.1 billion people--lack adequate water for their daily needs. "Adequate" is defined in this context as a mere 5 gallons per day.
* An estimated 2.6 billion humans lack access to improved sanitation.
* By the mid-1990s, 80 nations--comprising 40 percent of the world's population--suffered water shortages.
* Within 25 years, experts predict that two-thirds of the world's population will live in water-stressed regions.
While governments invest $90 billion each year in global water supply development, seven million people still die from water-borne disease. More sadly, 2.2 million of these are children. In Africa, 50 percent of the population suffers from some form of water-borne disease.
