About 70 percent of the earth is covered with water. Out of which only 2.5 percent of the water is drinkable and 75 percent of this drinkable water exists in the form of glaciers and ice fields in the northernmost and southernmost corners of the earth. Available freshwater is not enough to satisfy the demand of 7 billion people. Around one billion people on earth today does not have access to clean and safe drinking water.





60% of the total fresh water consumed is wasted each day due to our negligence and irresponsible attitude. About 70 percent of the fresh water on earth is used for agricultural purposes, 20-30% of this water is wasted due to faulty and mismanaged irrigation practices. It is evaluated that the population will increase to 10 billion by the year 2050. With growing population and rising temperature, evaporation rate will increase and annual global rainfall is meant to decrease. It is estimated that if we go by same pace, by 2050 around 3 billion people will face water shortage.
