Abstract

The article examines the global water crisis, including quantity and quality of fresh water supply around the world. Studies on this issue with examples from different regions of the world are compiled and reviewed. The researcher then aims to identify the key issues in the dire situation and analyze their causes. The scarcity of fresh water is associated with population growth and economic development, including irrigation water for agriculture. Concerns about quality of water included pollution and hard water. Methods including desalination and recycling are evaluated and best practices are shared. Towards the end of the study, the paper presented possible solutions including new processes, metrics, and recommended a combination of these approaches as remedies for the water crisis.
