Melting Glaciers Glaciers are melting into saltwater seas without replenishment. Clean drinking water is becoming unaffordable in parts of the world. Growing Water Use Global water use is growing twice as fast as population growth. We are rapidly contaminating our water supplies. Water Conflicts Around 2000 water conflict hotspots exist worldwide. Hydro-political tensions are rising between nations.

Present Day 25% of the world's population lacks clean water. 1.8 billion people don't have clean running water at home. 2050 Projection Over 2 billion people will face water scarcity. Global migration from water-stressed areas is increasing. Future Risks Water scarcity may precipitate the next world war. Upstream damming threatens downstream nations.

Northern Belt India's most fertile land is parched. Crop failures are rising. Groundwater depletion has led to dark zones. Wastewater Treatment Only 20% of wastewater treatment capacity exists. 80% of untreated wastewater contaminates rivers and groundwater. River Pollution The Yamuna River has become dangerously toxic. It's filled with foam, lead, arsenic, cadmium, and ammonia.

Wastewater Treatment Invest in modern wastewater treatment facilities to purify and reuse water. Desalination Develop seawater desalination technologies to increase freshwater supply. Water-Efficient Agriculture Implement innovations like Israel's water-saving rice production technique. Global Cooperation Foster international collaboration for sustainable water management policies.

Food Production Humans consume 50% of food produced. The other 50% feeds livestock for milk and meat. Livestock Impact Livestock breeding is destroying our planet. It causes deforestation and wildlife extinction. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Livestock bred for meat emits 51% of greenhouse gases, three times higher than all transportation. Deforestation Livestock production is responsible for 80% of deforestation worldwide.
