Water Shortage
As part of our quest to reach the highest level of care for the environment within our working practice, we have studied and read the views of many environmentalists. Our renewable water supply is constant. There is no more natural fresh water on Earth than there was 2,000 years ago, when the population was 3% of its current size.
During the past century, the world population has tripled, while water use has increased six-fold. Population growth, industrialisation and climate change will increase demand and reduce supply to such an extent that the amount of water available per person will drop by a third by 2020.
If these current trends persist, by 2025 two-thirds of the world’s population will be living with serious water shortages or almost no water at all.
