Running Dry: The Global Water Crisis
Running Dry: The Global Water Crisis
As the planet's population explodes, so does the demand for water. About one out of every nine people in the world does not have access to safe drinking water, while one out of every five—almost 1.5 billion humans—lives in a region where water demand is outstripping supply. Fresh water resources are dwindling due to climate change and droughts, pollution, overconsumption, and privatization. Can governments, businesses, and individuals work together to clean up and protect Earth's water resources?
