Water shortages are occurring across 1/3 of our planet today, affecting half of the world’s population. While ambitious schemes have been proposed to move water from wet to water-short regions, the reality is that those options would be very costly, politically difficult, and environmentally damaging. There are better options available for securing our water needs, and they center around opportunities to use less water on farms and in cities and industries. Some of the greatest potential lies in irrigated farming, where we can produce more food with much less water.
If we are successful in becoming a water-saving society, we will be able to restore the health of our natural ecosystems that have been depleted of their life-giving waters, and greatly reduce the competition and conflict that arises when communities run short of water.
