Water Crisis

Water Crisis

Water has always been one of the main resources for human survival, yet people tend don't seem to care about it, viewing it as a free and open resource that everyone can take part of. Our world's water resources are getting depleted and polluted because of our careless behaviour. A Food and Water Watch survey has announced that by 2025, more than 3.5 billion people will face water shortages if humans continue this impulsive behaviour.
