The world faces global water scarcity by 2030 – UNESCO
Faced with the current health crisis, the problem of providing water to Earth’s inhabitants to meet their hygienic needs “becomes more urgent than ever.”
UNESCO Director General Audre Azoulay said that the world will face a global water shortage of 40% by 2030. About this on Monday, March 22, writes TASS.
According to her, the water shortage situation will be aggravated by other global problems, including the consequences of the pandemic.
Azoulay pointed out that the world is not making enough efforts to conserve water resources and now there is an acute question about the correct evaluation of their value.
“Water is our most valuable resource, blue gold, to which more than 2 billion people do not have direct access. It is not only necessary for survival, but also plays a health, social and cultural role in human societies.” , said the head of the organization emphasized. …
Audrey Azoulay suggested developing an integrated approach that would consider different aspects of water resources to determine the appropriate policy options.
Recall that the Russian authorities intend to drill wells on the bottom of the Sea of Azov to improve the water supply to Crimea.
Due to last year’s drought in Crimea, water supplies were depleted. In this sense, Russia will spend billions on desalination plants. Water desalination plants with a total capacity of 40 thousand cubic meters per day will be built on the peninsula and it is planned to extend the length of the new and reconstructed water supply systems on the peninsula.
