Water is scarce!
More than 71% of the Earth's surface is covered with water, but only 2.5% is potentially potable (stored as snow in glaciers and ice caps), and nearly 1% is accessible for human use. ?There are an estimated 8 billion people on Earth, with 41% living in arid regions. Over two-fifths (40%) of the world’s population cannot access sustainable potable water supplies with existing surface water sources contaminated by:
·?????? Industrial waste
·?????? Agricultural runoff and
·?????? Untreated sewage
Approximately 80% of untreated waste is released into the environment- polluting surface water, groundwater, and aquifers.? This impacts human health and survival. ?Nearly 3.5 million people die per year from unsafe water due to inadequate treatment and sanitation. The root causes of global water shortages are population expansion, industrialization, and misuse of water resources. ?
The United Nations has launched the Clean Water and Sanitation Initiative to address the water health and scarcity issue as part of its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).? To improve water quality and abundance, UN-SDG-6 calls for the following:
·?????? A moratorium on chemical and waste dumping to the environment
·?????? Investment in water treatment and sanitation infrastructure
·?????? Improvement in human awareness
·?????? Protection of Natural Resources and the
·?????? Restoration of Ecosystems
International corporations are signing up for the Water Positive Initiative with the agenda of conserving water resources in processes and production and using water purification, acclimation, and reclamation technologies to put more water into the environment than they use and improve water accessibility and security to those most in need. ?It is not too late to turn the tide on water scarcity!

6 个月Thanks for the impressive post！ It draws our attention to sewage treatment and sustainable water resources. To truly improve water accessibility and security, we need to focus more on the in-depth treatment of sewage sources and discharge and make full use of some eco-friendly technologies, such as Powdered Activated Carbon Activation Technology and Targeted Macroporous Denitrogenation Technology. It is also necessary to actively utilize waste in the environment and biochemical treatment and resource utilization technology of organic waste to achieve a green transformation of solid waste discharge.

1 年Agree! water scarcity is a critical issue that demands urgent attention and concerted efforts. Your post provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges we face. It's encouraging to see initiatives like the Clean Water and Sanitation Initiative and the Water Positive Initiative gaining momentum, with international corporations committing to conserving water resources and improving accessibility. Embracing also new technologies, especially intelligent solutions powered by AI algorithms, holds big promise for effective water conservation efforts. Management platforms and digital twins offer deep insights into water infrastructure, enabling proactive measures to reduce water losses. Pairing these with innovative leak detection techniques and robust asset management supported by condition assessment can indeed lead to significant volumes of water conservation.

1 年Troy Green Look at this? EAWD is the newest state of the art concept to develop, manufacture commercialize, Sustainable engineering solutions for energy and water generation. What makes EAWD unique is that it can provide a customised package of Water & Energy Generation Systems. As an example, a single eAWG System can generate up to 50,000 litres (15,000 gallon) of drinkable water, and it does not require energy from the grid. https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/EAWD/overview https://energy-water.com/water-crisis-in-mexico-city-eawds-innovative-approach-to-water-scarcity/
