No drinking Water

Almost half the world's population (47%) will live until 2030 in areas affected by drought. People living in these areas is expected to increase by one billion by 2030 and the total number expected to reach the 2.8 έως 3,9 billion. Most of them living in developing countries. Already 63% of the population in Brazil, Russia, India and China live below the average in terms of access to water resources.

The black are also included in the OECD report entitled «Environment prospect by 2030. It is not only black OECD forecasts for the lack of water. All actors, governmental and non-continuously sounding the alarm about the problems posed by decreasing amounts of drinking water on the planet.

• Water scarcity occurs when the quantity of water withdrawn from lakes, rivers or underground is so great that water supplies are no longer sufficient to meet all human needs or the needs of the ecosystem, leading to increased competition among potential demands.
• Water scarcity has also defined as a situation in which the availability of water in a country or region is less than 1,000 m3/atomo/etos. However, there are several areas in the world to experience much greater shortage, living on less than 500 m3 per person per year.
• The use of water has increased by two times surpassing the population growth in the last century, and although there is no global water scarcity in general, more and more areas are in drought periods.
• DIAMACHES also arise in areas that suffer from water scarcity, between local communities and between countries, despite the existing legal agreements, and sharing a limited number of natural and essential resource is extremely difficult.
• Poverty related to water scarcity creates migration displaced within their countries or to other countries, where people hope for a better life, which probably will never get it.
According to the NGO WWF, in southern Europe, water supplies dwindle more and more as a result of climate change and the shrinking of glaciers in the northern Alps (an important source of water). As climate change is inevitable, emphasizes the WWF, water shortages arising from this excessive use, can be avoided if countries provide the necessary funds to protect water resources.
