The Problem of Water.
excessive consumption:
The average water consumption per capita day in Spain is 250 to 300 liters, the third highest in the world. The WHO (World Health Organization) set at 50 liters per capita per day adequate supply of water (for drinking, cooking, personal hygiene and household cleaning).
Pollution and Degradation of Rivers:
The Ministry of Environment has encountered severe pollution in 33% of English rivers. The degradation of rivers, wetlands and aquifers is a constant. Pipes, deforestation and dam construction are factors that have made our rivers in natural assets increasingly scarce.
More and Less Water: Water resources
decrease continuously by increasing population, pollution and climate change. Current trends persist, by 2050 the world will have lost 18,000 cubic kilometers of fresh water, nine times the amount of water currently used in irrigation worldwide. Irrigation water accounts for 70% of total withdrawals.
