Worldwide Water Shortage

I read the article Worldwide Water Shortage On Horizon. I learned that by 2025 more than half the nations in the world will have freshwater stress. By 2050 as much as 75 percent of the world's population could have freshwater scarcity. To fix the water shortage dilemma the US will need to use all water sources.200 different scientist from different countries said the most concerning issue with the world today is water shortage. Humans have access to 0.8% of the earths water. The demand for water within the next two decades is supposed to increase 40%. This shows their is not going to be enough water to support our needs. Water is not only a demand for people to drink but it takes 1,000 tonnes of water to create a ton of wheat. Their is simply just not enough water for our worlds needs.
