Water Stress: A Global Challenge

Over the next 20 years, there is a growing risk of water insecurity worldwide due to increased demand and depleting supply. Poor governance, insufficient resource management, unsustainable development methods, inefficient agriculture, and environmental degradation all contribute to this problem by reducing the amount and quality of water. Water insecurity will be worse in developing countries, although some industrialized countries will also have serious problems. If these concerns are not addressed, nations may face a variety of issues, such as political instability, slow economic growth, inequality, and sickness. Shared water resources are more prone to turning into flash points when global competition heats up and water security deteriorates.
