How much clean, drinkable water is left on Earth and what is being done to combat an eventual shortage?
In: Earth Science
Clean drinking water is not a global issue, however it is a bunch of local issues. The amount of clean drinking water available is only affecting the local water systems. So it does not make sense to measure how much clean drinking water is available in Switzerland when you are looking at the water levels in the US. And secondly clean drinking water is a renewable resource that replenishes fairly often. The problem is therefore not that we have a lack of clean drinking water but that the clean drinking water does not reach the people who need it but is instead used for other things along the way.
