Whether through a water dispenser or just by turning on a faucet, most Americans have direct access to water.
This, however, is not the case for citizens in many other nations. Several current water crises, such as the shortage in Cape Town, South Africa, compels all of us to examine how we use our water, and what we can do to conserve and reuse it. While this concern may not seem imminent, 47% of the world’s population can expect to live in areas of high water stress by the year 2030. In addition, water scarcity is expected to displace between 24 million and 700 million people currently living in arid and semi-arid regions of the world.
