Humanityâs challenge of the century: Conserving Earthâs freshwater systems
The challenge from here on is to avoid water wars while preemptively, cooperatively and aggressively addressing a growing global populationâs water security. It can be done, but we must do it now.
Many dryland cities like Los Angeles, Cairo and Tehran have already outstripped natural water recharge, but are expected to continue growing, resulting in a deepening arid urban water crisis.
According to NASAâs GRACE mission, 19 key freshwater basins, including several in the U.S., are being unsustainably depleted, with some near collapse; much of the water is used indiscriminately by industrial agribusiness.

Many dryland cities like Los Angeles, Cairo and Tehran have already outstripped natural water recharge, but are expected to continue growing, resulting in a deepening arid urban water crisis.
According to NASA’s GRACE mission, 19 key freshwater basins, including several in the U.S., are being unsustainably depleted, with some near collapse; much of the water is used indiscriminately by industrial agribusiness.
Many desert cities, including Tripoli, Phoenix and Los Angeles, are sustained by water brought from other basins by hydro megaprojects that are aging and susceptible to collapse, while the desalination plants that water Persian Gulf cities come at a high economic cost with serious salt pollution.

Four million Libyans face imminent water shortage if new solutions are not implemented to tackle declining water, sanitation and health (WASH) conditions in the conflict-torn country, according to a 1 February UNICEF statement.
WASH conditions in Libya have deteriorated as a result of escalating violence and unrest following civil war and the killing of the country’s leader, Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Recurring attacks on Libya s Great Manmade River systems have eliminated the use of around 190 wells across the country, and a lack of funding prevents them from being restored.
In the sanitation sector, 65 Percent of households and institutions are connected to cesspits – underground tanks which collect and store wastewater and sewage without processing or treating it – rather than public networks, resulting in contamination of underground reservoirs.
