The document discusses humanity's relationship with water and the looming global water crisis. It notes that while water is essential to human life, comprising over 60% of the human body, we take it for granted and pollute the limited freshwater sources. As population and industry continue rising, water usage has grown much faster than population alone. Experts warn that a severe water shortage may develop within decades unless attitudes and practices around water change to using less, saving more, and protecting this vital resource for all.
