Wolrd Water Situation

780 million people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water (United Nations, UNICEF). Every 20 seconds a child dies as a direct result of unsafe drinking water (One World). 

The world water situation refers to the availability, quality, and use of water resources globally. It is a complex and dynamic issue, influenced by factors such as population growth, climate change, urbanization, and economic development.

Currently, the world water situation is characterized by a number of challenges, including:

  1. Scarcity: Water scarcity is a growing problem, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions, where water resources are limited and population growth and industrialization are putting increasing pressure on these resources.
  2. Quality: Water quality is also a concern, with pollution from industrial and agricultural activities, as well as from untreated sewage and runoff, affecting the quality of water resources.
  3. Access: Many people around the world lack access to clean and safe drinking water, particularly in developing countries.
  4. Wastage: In many regions, there is a significant wastage of water due to inefficient irrigation systems, leaky pipes, and other factors.
  5. Climate change: Climate change is affecting the availability and quality of water resources, causing changes in precipitation patterns, sea level rise, and increased frequency of extreme weather events.
  6. Climate variability: The lack of predictability of precipitation and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events such as droughts and floods, makes it difficult to plan for and manage water resources.

Despite these challenges, there are also efforts underway to address the world water situation. These include increasing access to clean water and sanitation, improving water efficiency and management, and protecting and restoring water resources. In addition, there are also efforts to build resilience to the impacts of climate change on water resources through better planning, management and infrastructure.

The world water situation is complex and multifaceted and requires a holistic approach that addresses the interrelated issues of water scarcity, water quality, and access to water.

The Dutch are global leaders in water management. Their innovative and effective water recycling processes are highly recommended and used across the world. Different types of pollution require different removal techniques. Based on the influent we will assess the inquiry, and find the best suitable solution using our State-of-the-Art techniques.
