Lack of Clean Drinking Water in Conflict Areas
According the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), more than 180 million people are deprived of access to clean water in countries affected by conflict, violence, and instability.
Only 3 percent of the world’s water is freshwater. At the current rate of consumption, by 2025, majority of the world may face water shortages.
Demand-induced scarcity results from the water needs of increasing populations.
Terrorism: where water resources, or water systems, are either targets or tools of violence or coercion by non-state actors.
Humans need to drink water to survive. The majority of the human body (60 percent) is composed of water.
Yemen: It may become the first country in the world to run out of water. It is an impoverished desert country with years of conflict, instability and misgovernment.
If everyone has access to clean water, then there would not be any water conflict.
