Globally, water constraint is gaining increasing public attention as a critical environmental dilemma due to population growth, urbanization, rapid industrialization and expansion and intensification of food production that need to be addressed. Water scarcity is a reality in many areas today, and it is being exacerbated due to climate change creating critical distress in the future. According to the United Nations, the world’s population is expected to grow by one-third to over 9 billion by 2050, demanding 55% more water, while the amount of freshwater will not increase.

Abstract


Globally, water constraint is gaining increasing public attention as a critical environmental dilemma due to population growth, urbanization, rapid industrialization and expansion and intensification of food production that need to be addressed. Water scarcity is a reality in many areas today, and it is being exacerbated due to climate change creating critical distress in the future. According to the United Nations, the world’s population is expected to grow by one-third to over 9 billion by 2050, demanding 55% more water, while the amount of freshwater will not increase.
