Water Scarcity
Global climate change, pollution and environmental degradation have lead to one major problem- water scarcity. Potable and drinkable water sources are greatly on the decline and people are mindlessly installing more bore wells to draw water from greater depths. This differential settlement of soil has only lead to loss of stability in soil and results in landslides, caving in of buildings etc. More and more countries have begun to buy drinking water on a daily basis to cater to their needs. This has opened a whole new business of drinking water companies that release cans and bottles of pure mineral water. Linking of rivers and a good watershed management plan shall hopefully help these countries from crumbling under the problem of water scarcity.
