Despite water covering 71% of the planet’s surface, more than half the world’s population endures extreme water scarcity for at least one month a year. Current estimates predict that by 2040, up to 20 more countries could be experiencing water shortages. These statistics raise a startling question: is the Earth running out of clean water? Balsher Singh Sidhu takes a closer look at water consumption.

But will you guys expand on how industries like the golfing and other sport industries spend tons of gallons of drinking water on lawns. How reservoir are being used in Nevada for Golf Courses rather than sustaining the public. Agriculture is part of our lives, while wasteful leisures arent, especially if those leisures are at the expense of peoples literal survival. I adore these videos about saving the earth, but this deflects from greater issues. You are masters of non-partisan debates and conversations and can really do address outliers that effect so much more of our lives, that are right under our noses.

This video is very well done. One note to make is humans, while some do things that are very reckless to our environment, there are others who are doing amazing good for our planet. Humans are smart and we will find ways to go around these crisis’ that our predecessors left us with. That’s why it’s so important to educate ourselves and our children. As well as support new ideas and companies who are trying to produce cleaner, more efficient energy and farming techniques. It may be a little scary to look at the future, but with each generation we are becoming more informed of our footprint on the earth. And with each little decision we make to help the environment the more our youth will see that and grow up to hopefully make the big changes for our planet. Just wanted to give a little positivity to those who might be discouraged.

Positivity is definitely needed. But the biggest issue in regard to this, is the speed in which we develop these new solutions, and the reforming of the existing ones. Economic growth is still the highest priority to lawmakers and industries, due to globalized capitalism. If we don't change this priority, globally, it will result in the demise of civilization as we know it.

Bramble you can still be positive but be grounded in reality. I’m not saying to just shut your eyes and pretend everything will work out. But just to look for and support people who are trying to do good. Or if you find yourself able to make a change, make that change! You don’t need be a pessimist to get change and be more in tuned with reality. In fact you will rarely see a positive change if you’re looking at everything negatively. Just my two sense. ❤️

Start by reducing meat consumption, more specifically red meat. Not saying to give up meat entirely, but try to replace one normal meal with a vegan meal each week. Raising live stock requires large amounts of water. Not saying agriculture doesn’t use large amounts of water either, but you have to factor in the amount of water need to grow feed for live stock too.

Hi, amazing video, but I have a couple of questions: I'd had liked to know the stats separately of agriculture and cattle raising, especially since you said going vegetarian reduces 1/3 of the water consumption, does that means cattle raising consumes the other 2/3. also, a great part of the agriculture products are destined to cattle raising itself, does the 1/3 agriculture water includes the products destined to them? or which is the proportion destined for human consumption in correlation to the cattle raising. thanks in advance if you get to read and answer this comment !!

The corrections of various types required for atleast 50 years or till the underground water table is risen good. Use alternate good quality temporary materials. Ban on all concrete constructions like multistorey, Underground tunneling for metro projects. Use of crops requiring least water i.e ban on rice plantations till safe. The world has to control on their taste buds till the right time. Harvest water drop by drop by placing winter fog nets. Harvest rain water by everybody. Dig out water storage tanks. It's now or never.

Sadly, suggest to someone [especially Americans] to stop eating meat and they immediately shut down or become incensed. I'm not from a professional psychology background (I only have an interest), but it seems to me to be a response of the discontinuity of presenting someone with an idea that makes sense but they simply do not want to accept: The bad feelings come from their Cognitive Bias - the ego being unable to consolidate these two competing ideas. I actually think very sly, subdued attempts like this video might be the best way to get to people.

This is going to be a long one. At first I thought freshwater shortage shouldn't exist because water doesn't vanish after we use it. But I realized that once we consume freshwater, it turns into sewage, which needs sewage treatment plants to be acceptable enough to return to the environment. While the treated water is technically freshwater, it can't be used because people wouldn't be comfortable with it. This freshwater gets mixed into rivers and ends up in the oceans, turning into saltwater. The only way for it to turn back into freshwater is through the water cycle, which we can't control and stays pretty much unchanged, or via desalination plants, which are extremely costly. So the reason we're having or will be having a water shortage is because we've found a very easy way to turn freshwater into saltwater but not the reverse. In other words, our freshwater consumption is increasing (because of increasing population and industrialization) but its supply is constant, or decreasing even, as glaciers and polar ice melt. This seems problematic but it can be easily fixed by increasing our freshwater supply. Even recycling sewage water would be a permanent solution because as our consumption increases, the amount of recycled water increases as well. It's a self-sustaining system. Or perhaps we'll find some other way to do it.

@feynstein1004
@feynstein1004 5 лет назад
@GearsW You are correct but we always pump in water from the upstream of a river where it is the purest and then pump out the treated water to the downstream of it, where it is rarely reused. We could totally reuse that water but there would probably be huge public backlash over it. And while we don't lose the total water when it hits the sea, we do lose quite a bit of freshwater. Once it hits the sea, it mixes with the saltwater there and becomes saltwater itself, which is so costly to turn back into freshwater that it's much cheaper to just pump more water from our original river upstream. Hence our only source of freshwater is the river upstream. And the river does not have an infinite supply of water. We cannot pump more water of out it than flows through it, otherwise it will dry up. Hence the problem.

We need to start eating more bugs. The biggest thing we can do is cut down on large livestock ranching (cows, pigs and sheep) They are disastrous for the environment, greenhouse gas creation, obesity epidemic, global poverty and the water shortage. If we were to replace even half of our consumption of these animals with other sources (insects for example) the world would be so much better off. The University of Wageningen has published a really cool report on this.
