A new study warns that by 2025, about 30% of the world's population may not have enough water.
A new study warns that by 2025, 30% people in the world will not have enough water to drink.
A private American organization called Population Action International did this new study. It says more than 335 million people lack enough water now. These people live in 28 countries. Most countries are in Africa or the Middle East.
This study was conducted by a private organization called Population Action in the United States. According to the report, 335 million people in the world do not have enough water. These people are mainly distributed in 28 countries in Africa or the Middle East.
Robert engelmann, a P-A-I researcher, said that by 2025, about 3 billion people may be short of water. It is estimated that at least 18 countries will face serious water resources problems. The demand for water continues to grow. However, the amount of water on the earth remains the same.
Robert Angermann, a researcher at Population Action, said that by 2025, about 3 billion people will be short of water. At least 18 other countries will probably face the same serious water shortage problem. The human demand for water is rising, but the water on the earth remains the same.
Mr. engelmann said that the population growth rate of water-deficient countries is faster than that of other parts of the world. He said that the population growth of these countries will continue to increase.
Mr. Angermann said that the population growth rate in water-deficient countries is higher than that in other parts of the world. He also said that the birth rate in these countries will continue to increase.
According to the report, water shortage in the future may lead to several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water usually means that drinking water is unsafe. Mr. engelmann said that there are problems all over the world because cholera and other diseases spread in water. Water shortage may also lead to more international conflicts. Countries may have to compete for water resources in the future. Some countries now get 60% fresh water from other countries. This is true in Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan and Iraq. According to the report, water shortage will affect the ability of developing countries to improve their economies. This is because new industries usually need a lot of water at the beginning.
The report shows that the lack of water resources may lead to some serious consequences in the future. First of all, it may cause more health problems. The lack of water resources means that drinking water is no longer guaranteed. Mr Angermann said that diseases spread in water, such as cholera, will bring many problems to the world. Water shortage will also cause more international disputes. The country may go to war over water. Now in some countries, such as Egypt, Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan and Iraq, 60% of pure water is imported from abroad. The report believes that the shortage of water resources will affect the ability of developing countries to develop their economies. This is because new industries often need a lot of water at the beginning.
The research of Population Action International gives several methods to solve the water problem. It says one way is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. The third method is to reduce agricultural water use.
The research report of Population Action Organization puts forward several ways to solve the problem of water shortage in the world. First, find a multi-purpose way to use water. Second, educate people not to waste water resources. The third is to use less agricultural water.
The report also pointed out that the long-term solution to the problem of water resources must include controlling population growth. It says countries can't provide clean water unless they slow down population growth by limiting the number of children they have.
The report also shows that in the long run, controlling population growth is one of the indispensable measures to solve the problem of water shortage. It says countries can't provide clean water unless they can reduce population growth by limiting birth.
