In a recent report released by the UN, one of the main reasons for the water problem remains excessive and limitless consumption.
“Bota is walking blindly on a dangerous road with the unstable use of water, pollution and global warming”, Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.
According to the study, about two billion people do not have access to safe drinking water, while 3.6 billion lack access to reliable sanitation services.
“Water loss is becoming evasive”, says the report, which notes that global water use has increased by about 1% annually over the past 40 years and is expected to maintain a similar rate by 2050.
Besides, the UN has called for all to take measures against water misuse.
