Is the World Heading for a War over Water?

Water Scarcity: 

According to the Washington DC think tank World Resources Institute (WRI), Pakistan has nearly 400 areas in the world where people are facing water problems.


Developments around the world, increased meat consumption and economic growth have strengthened the world's water reserves, with fears that their depletion will force people to migrate and lead to political instability. will be born

From Chile to Mexico, from Africa to the tourist destination of Southern Europe, water issues are getting involved. Aquifers, i.e. 'stressed' water problems are related to the criteria that water is being used from groundwater and other surface reservoirs compared to available resources.

About one-third of the world's population, about 2.6 billion people, according to RI, are others in what are being described as 'high water stressed' countries. Of which 1.7 billion people are in 17 countries.

A dozen countries in the Middle East are facing the most difficult situations in terms of water issues. Pakistan, Eritrea and Botswana can also be classified as countries facing extreme weather problems.

However, India's security and economic development have had an impact on everything and it has been said in a very important way regarding the water privilege.


Enough and bad revelations
The data is taken from the Ordinance IK platform Aquact 3.0, which conducts a number of hydrological assessments and determines what is being done with water in land and underground resources. Dear total water is available.

When the ratio of both classes is between 40 and 80 percent, it is considered to be prone to seasonal problems. When its ratio is more than 80%, it is considered as having extreme climatic problems.

Rutger Hofs, the lead researcher of the study, told the BBC, "While working with the data, I try to be unbiased in the results, but I was very surprised to see that the conditions in India. How bad

India is at number 13 in this ranking and Pakistan is at number 12.

Among India's 36 states, extreme weather problems have been put in the category, while Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu state, is experiencing floods.

"Water problems in large cities such as these suggest that they are exposed to early-stage problems in Korea," the RI report said. Which are increasing due to substandard water.

The report also states that if nothing is done, Mexico will also be hard hit by India.

15 of Mexico's 32 states are classified as having extreme climate problems, and Rutger Hofstede points out that the water system in the capital, Mexico City, is extremely fragile.

Along with this, 16 were also placed in the category of extreme water supply problems. Russian and Chinese nationals from Moscow and Bangladesh are equally at risk, but those countries are not in this category. In addition to their Italy and Spain, many face severe problems as large numbers of tourists flood the waterways from there in the summer.

According to the report, one-third of Turkey is also suffering from severe water problems, ie, 27 out of 81 provinces have a shortage of water during the season.

However, the Western Cape region of South Africa, 17 districts of Botswana, Namibia region and Angola were also given some water problems.

Learn to live with Water Scarcity

  Learn to live with water scarcity Regions around the world are experiencing drought and water scarcity, even in places that once had abundant rainfall, and this situation will worsen as the planet warms. In 2018, nearly all water taps ran dry in the South African port city of Cape Town. Then it became the second largest city in the world suffering from severe water shortage. This problem still occurs. This year, communities 750 kilometers east of ' Nelson Mandela Bay' will find their reservoirs dry by July. The Cape Town administration has taken strict measures regarding water usage to avoid this 'Day Zero'. The city administration has increased water usage rates and fines and has worked with the agricultural sector to reduce water consumption and maintain soil moisture. Residents of the area will maintain a daily water consumption limit of only 50 liters or 13 gallons. Remember that one load of laundry can use up to 70 liters of water.

A Thirst for Economic Growth

  Although socio-economic factors create water problems, they can be countered with better water management. Between 1961 and 2014, the rate of global freshwater withdrawal (whether from ground or underground reservoirs) increased 2.5 times. According to WRI, water demand for crop irrigation has doubled in the last half century and irrigation accounts for about 67 percent of water used. In 2014, industry requires nearly three times as much water as in 1961 and now accounts for 21 percent of total water use. Although domestic water consumption accounts for 10 percent of total water use, it has increased sixfold since 1961. And very little water is used for animal consumption. But crops grown for animal feed consume 12 percent of the world's irrigation system. That's why experts believe that by reducing the growing demand for animal meat, we can reduce the pressure on water resources. Hofstede says that this is the only way to solve the global water problems. "We use a lot ...
