The global climate crisis is inextricably linked to water. Climate change increases variability in the water cycle, inducing extreme weather events, reducing the predictability of water availability, affecting water quality.

Agriculture accounts for 70% of the world’s freshwater to grow produce and sustain livestock. Corporate farms that can afford the “longest straws” get the water, often leaving neighboring farmers with dry wells.

Water scarcity

By 2025, 50% of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas – World Health Organization

Human population is expected to increase from 7.1 billion to 9.3 billion, creating serious water supply problems – UN Water

What can we do?

Respect water, save, and savor it!  Don’t abuse water. Our lives depend on it.
