Global Water Crisis: Mapping, Solutions, and Impending Threats.

The United Nations is holding a three-day water conference to address the global water crisis, which affects hundreds of millions of people. Climate change, pollution, and waste have compounded water concerns by squeezing the Earth’s resources. Some supplies have dwindled from lack of rain, while others have been contaminated by chemicals or toxins from human activity. The conference aims to advance toward a goal of having readily available, sustainably managed water and sanitation for everyone across the globe.
