The world is facing irreversible water ‘bankruptcy’. Billions of people are at risk
(www.independent.co.uk)
Strange, the article doesn't mention at all the effects of industry on the consumption of water supplies. This is something that has been known to be very impactful for quite a while especially in water-scarce that I remember learning about in Geography, but I suppose it has been addressed to some extent?
The article I linked mentions the water isn't replenished to source, which affects the ability of communities to access it. I get the feeling that, like this example, perhaps the impact of industry is just being covered up? Anyone know any more about this?
