LAHORE (Web Desk) – World Water Day is to be held annually on March 22 as decreed by the United Nations, to address water and food security.
More than 1,000 million people lack basic water supply and 1.5 million children die each year from diseases caused by contaminated, non-drinkable water.
By current 2012, worlds population has peaked to 7 billion inhabitants and it is estimated that within three decades it may reach around 9 billion.
Consequently, the water needs for food production or, in other words, the needs to ensure sustainable food supplies for much of the planet, will be one of the major problems to face in order to meet these growing demands for food.
Most water human consume is what comes to through food, as each day, a person can drink about 2 liters of water, but to produce a kilo of rice, 2,450 liters of water are needed.
This is one examples of the amount of water needed to produce food. Water is not available in many parts of our planet.
