3. THE CONCEPT OF WATER STRESS

4. WHY WOULD THERE BE A WAR?
Global warming is causing an accelerated melting of
the glaciers.
A lot of surface water is also polluted, and thus not
available for human use.
The global population tripled in the 20th century but
water consumption went up sevenfold.
Privatization of water first in developed and now in
developing countries.

5. An Example Water Resources
Depleting

6. “An explosive new political fault line is erupting
across the global landscape between the water Haves
and water Have Nots….Simply, water is surpassing oil
itself as the world’s scarcest critical resource. Just as
oil conflicts were central to the 20th century history,
the struggle over freshwater is set to shape a new
turning point in the world order and the destiny of
civilization.”
Are we on brink of a war?

7. A change in old habits flushing, brushing,
bathing
Stop growing water hungry crops in dry areas
Controlling Carbon emissions significantly
Improving Transboundry cooperation
Water harvesting
Drip Irrigation
Conserve now would prevent the ‘War’ in
the future?

8. THANK YOU
Save Water.. Otherwise We All Will
Become Extinct
