A worrisome problem related to the applications of water is fretting scientists and researchers all over the world. As stated by www.amicidelmondo.it, all over the world the consumption of the water can be allocated in the following way: 15% for domestic use, 60% for agricultural use and 25% embraces the industrial one.
Therefore water is not used solely by people to survive and wash their clothes. It is manly applied in the primary and secondary sector. Furthermore, because since the 60s the hydric consumption for the irrigation of fields is increased by 60%, today water has become a resource that is diminishing as time passes by.
Indeed experts and statisticians predict that in 2025, the world will begin to suffer very seriously because of the water shortage. The actual situation is already alarming: the world population amounts to about 6 billion people and the hydric availability for 1.4 billion of them is considered precarious.
Nevertheless, if 1.4 billion people have to deal with a critic situation, it doesn’t mean that the condition of the rest of the world population is superlative. In fact, the situation of another 2 billion people cannot be evaluated as sufficient, since it is only able to guarantee a minimum subsistence condition.
Unfortunately, things will get sensibly worse if they don’t change in the near future. During the fatal date, nudging 2025, the water will be a mirage for almost 3 billion people over the 7 billion our world will amount. In just twenty years the percentage of the thirsty persons will go up from 25% to 40%.
It will not be easy to live in such a reality. But we better learn to do so, without complaining or wondering, “how did that happen?” We will be responsible for that, no one else will.
