< 1% of fresh water is readily accessible for direct human uses (U.S. Geological Survey, 2009)
The 10 largest water users are India, China, USA, Pakistan, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Mexico and Russia
The real crisis is one of poverty, access, and unbalanced power, not supply (UN)
Water withdrawals to increase by 50% by 2025 in developing countries, and 18% in developed countries (UNEP)

Scarcity Causes Implications Solutions Risks & Opps Strategy More stats Pam Muckosy 30 11 2009 Socio-economic impacts: Disease – 1/10 th global disease burden could be prevented by improving water supply, sanitation, hygiene and management (UN) Access – 884m people – about half of whom live in Asia – still rely on drinking water from unimproved sources such as ponds, streams, irrigation canals and unprotected dug wells (WHO & UNICEF) Demand will outstrip supply - by 2030 D>S by 40%, and 1/2 could be in water-stressed areas (McKinsey) IMPLICATIONS

Scarcity Causes Implications Solutions Risks & Opps Strategy More stats Pam Muckosy 30 11 2009 MDG 7, Target 10 Reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water by 2015. Halve by 2015, the proportion of people who do not have access to basic sanitation. SOLUTIONS

Scarcity Causes Implications Solutions Risks & Opps Strategy More stats Pam Muckosy 30 11 2009 TRANSBOUNDARY
263 transboundary river and lake basins and around 300 transboundary aquifers worldwide.
Transboundary lake and river basins account for an estimated 60% of global freshwater flow and is home to 40% of the world´s population.
> 75% of all countries, 145 in total, have shared river basins within their boundaries. 33 nations have > 95% of their territory within international river basins.
In the 20th century, only seven minor skirmishes took place between nations over shared water resources, while over 300 treaties were signed during the same period.
158 of the world’s 263 international river basins, plus transboundary aquifer systems, lack any type of cooperative management framework.
Joint management may be the solution for generating ‘public goods’ such as flood and drought protection, increased biodiversity and improved conservation, enhanced water quality, and even greater possibilities for peace and regional stability.
