Editor's Notes
- 54% of accessible freshwater is currently diverted for human use (UN WWAP 2003). Of the diverted water, globally around 70% is used for agriculture (which is why it is the focus of WWF’s water demand management work), 20% by industry and 10% for domestic use. The quote comes from the 2004 report of the Stockholm and International Water Management Institutes. It highlights the imminent threat to the survival of many freshwater ecosystems if water productivity is not dramatically improved in agriculture.
