Developed countries will spend 1,000 billion dollars on upgrading water and waste water systems over the next few decades.
In China it is expected that its demand for H20 from urban and industry will grow 70 and 104 percent between 2010 and 2030.
In India, CocaCola has lost its licence in kerala for their bottling plants to use ground water. They have been accused of over exploitation of water globally.
Too many people buy bottled H20, that will result in the plastic containers being dumped, and eventually contaminating ground water.
Its time to act, there is no time to waste… we in the west has already contaminated and poured too much H20 down the drain!
