According to a report by the World Economic Forum (WEF), 47% of the world’s countries might experience a water shortage by 2030.
It may be difficult to grasp this issue given water’s pervasiveness, but a breakdown of how much it's needed for agricultural and domestic purposes makes the issue much clearer. According to the WEF, it takes 214 liters of water to produce 1 kilogram of tomatoes, 2,500 liters for a kilogram of rice, 3,180 liters for a kilogram of cheese and 15,400 liters for a kilogram of beef.
Add to this that global water usage has increased by a factor of six in the past century and that only 2.5% of the water on Earth is fresh.
Energy and Water Development Corp. EAWD says it is on a mission to combat this issue by standardizing environmentally friendly and sustainable methods of producing water and energy.
