Water ! Water ! Water
Water is the primary building block of life. Without water there is no life, yet water has the power to destroy as well as create. Global Warming is all set to disturb Water on earth - melting icecaps and melting mountain glaciers, rising sea levels, changing weather patterns, drinking water, crops & irrigation, water for industries and so on.Now, Fresh Water Crisis seems to be looming large over the humanity. By mid-century, as much as three-quarters of the earth's population could face scarcity of fresh water.Apart from population increase, climate change is exacerbating aridity and reducing supply in many regions.Lack of water can lead to starvation, disease, political instability and even armed conflict and failure to take action can have broad and grave consequences.
