As the global economy grows, the world is going to get a lot more thirsty in 2030 if steps aren’t taken to cut back on fresh water use now, the United Nations says.
At current usage rates, the world will have 40% less fresh water than it needs in 15 years, according to the United Nations World Water Assessment Program in its 2015 report, which came out ahead of the U.N.’s World Water Day last Sunday. At this rate and the direction we're taking our economy, we're putting corporate greed over necessary survival, we do in fact have the technology and resources to supply water to everywhere that needs it. We as a race choose not to because it is easier or because corporations keep a tight control over the world's water supplies. We're going down a tricky path, we have a chance to change that but it will take us fighting for what we believe in by changing the way we live day to day. Not giving in to what is "easy", but instead doing what is necessary to preserve earth as a fresh water planet, and sustain the human race with lack of war, and no need for pitiful things such as fights for power. We shouldn't be so worried over power but rather worry about our advancement not as a clan or nation, but as a race.
