What is the current state of the water crisis in the world? How can It be fixed?
The water crisis is getting worse day by day. The scarcity of safe drinking water is becoming more and more. The earth has 71% water but fresh water is only 2.5%. More than 1.2 billion people do not have access to fresh and safe water. water crisis can be caused by climate change interfering with the time and amount of rainfall, or it can be caused by less availability of water resources where people live. Mismanagement is also a cause of water crisis. It can be fixed by taking some informative actions like educating people about the crisis and better ways to conserve and use the scarce water. Technologies can also help fix water crisis by introducing machines to recycle and store water, and turning and processing non usable water into usable water. Many places use fresh water for agriculture and irrigation purposes which can be managed and these water can be saved for consumption while while planning other sources of irrigation. Checking on pollution can also help save fresh water. The governance and management should be focused and properly managed. So these are some of the ways water crisis can be acted upon.
