Water scarcity is becoming a significant global problem with far-reaching effects. Long-term solutions
require extensive government intervention in programmes, including research and climate mitigation
measures, but individuals also need to become aware of the need for water conservation.
A major problem for all countries is the huge amount of water necessary for agriculture and industry.
When there is insufficient water, crops fail, animals die and people go hungry. Without an adequate
water supply, manufacturers, food producers, mining operations and businesses cannot succeed.
Ultimately, water is the key to economic prosperity.
Water shortages create particular difficulties in developing countries. Firstly, many women and
children in these countries have to spend the whole day walking to and from a remote water source
to fetch water. Consequently, these children miss school and often do not receive an adequate
education. Secondly, the water that is available for daily use may be contaminated, and this can lead
to illness and even death.
One of the most important long-term solutions to this problem is to work towards reducing global
warming and climate change, as dry regions are becoming drier across the planet. Additionally,
pollution of waterways needs to be addressed, as we take steps to clean up our existing supplies of
this precious resource. Many old-fashioned irrigation schemes are generally very wasteful, so funds
need to be available for research into water conservation and new irrigation technologies. These
technologies could then be transferred to developing nations. At an individual level, we need to
become aware of wasteful water-use habits, such as watering lawns in the summer, or pouring our
grey water down the drain. In conclusion, the inadequate supply of fresh water is one of the most
crucial environmental problems facing our planet, and we need to work to preserve this precious
resource.
