Already in the world, there is acute shortage of water. Permanent access to drinking resource has no more than a third of the world's population, more than two billion people. According to the forecasts of UNESCO, in 2020 water shortages will be one of the major world problems. Given that the biggest freshwater are in Russia, analysts predict the fate of her country's core strategic asset.

According to the World Health Organization, about 90% of human disease caused by the use of poor-quality water, as well as unprepared use of water for domestic purposes - for laundry, shower, washing dishes.

"Our stocks of clean water in the face of its deficit on the planet may become for US the same than it is now for oil "In doing so, for today sustainable access to safe drinking water has no more than 2 billion people. Rapid population growth has meant that it begins to be missed. Compared with the 1900 level of consumption has grown nearly tenfold. Many regions have already reached the limits of possible consumption of resources.

Every sixth person in the world currently lacks clean water, every third no normal sewage. By 2025, lack of water on the planet has been a two-thirds of the world's population.

And in the next 30 years, experts predicted that the number of inhabitants of Earth will increase by 45%. This will lead to an increase in the level of water consumption, and - respectively - to a large increase in its value. And specialists International Water Management Institute believe that fresh water may end up on Earth after 25 years.

Almost all political analysts and economists agreed that in the XXI century water becomes not just a necessity, but one of the major problems of humanity and a source of global confrontation.

The largest freshwater are in the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers. However, the biggest reservoir of fresh water, which do not need to defreeze, Lake Baikal, located in Russia. The volume of water in the lake - 23 thousand cubic kilometers. While the common stock of drinking water in all lakes in the world is 123 thousand cubic kilometers.

However, many experts note that the cost of water should grow at least 10 times that its transport over long distances has economic sense. However, some point out that similar amount to pay for water can only developed countries, and they go on ways to reduce consumption and development of sea water desalination technologies.

The threat of shortage of drinking water has resulted in the most developed countries are seeking ways to save fresh water. In countries such as France and Germany, most people have already entered the habit of turning off the water when they clean teeth, include only fully loaded dishwashers and washing and washing fruits and vegetables in containers, rather than under a jet.

A huge amount of water used to drain the toilet. Toilets are two possibilities plum, more economical and more powerful, have become common. However, a more original solution proposed company Global Inventive Industries Inc. The company sells toilet EcoJohn Sr., Burning that goes into it, rather than off it in the sewer.

Once the user closes the lid toilet, everything that was in it, falls into a special cell, where propane is burned to ashes small. According to the developers for a year and a half family of four save one cup of white ash.

The willingness of Americans to spend much more money on propane, so as not to waste water, shows that the problem of water scarcity is indeed global. Humanity must learn to save water. Otherwise, it really has become an important strategic resource that will sell, and which will be war. In this case, Russia could indeed become the main supplier of clean fresh water to the market, making it one of the main items of exports. click here
