Scarcity of water is also a result of human selfishness
It is expected that by 2025 64 percent of the world population live in river basins under water stress. The livestock sector is a key factor in the increased use of water as it is responsible for 8% of global consumption of this resource, primarily for irrigation of fodder crops. Livestock is probably the biggest source of water pollution.? The above figures should make us reflect on the attitude of both world and on the personal position on this problem, as the consumer, especially the European thinks nothing of it. Perhaps aware that e, l 70% of water consumption for irrigation is intended, and in many countries with little precipitation this percentage is even higher. Each lemon has needed for producing one liter of water per gram. The countries of the Mediterranean regions where they grow, are suffering the consequences for years of drought, due to deforestation, overexploitation of wells, fires, tourism and all that for a Spanish, Italian , North African and many others has become an alarming reality.
There is no doubt that human beings, especially in the Christian West has misunderstood the biblical divine offering to "subdue the earth", or rather interpreted by your free will. The common denominator being a human attitude that has many facets, with the selfishness at the head of all the catastrophes that plague humanity. And yet, according to UN studies, each euro invested in drinking water distribution and sewage disposal, has a profit of 4 to 12 times higher because there is less intestinal diseases that cause diarrhea there are fewer deaths, more school attendance by girls who do not have to haul water to their homes, and many other health benefits and economic development of poorer countries. Many voices have warned of all this evil-development, but calls for sanity, solidarity, equality, to brotherhood and justice for all, drain as the water in the desert. Particular countries, but also the society of nations as a whole, meet assistance plans they make, because they always prevail in the country's interests, a consortium or ideology to the good of all, the common good.
So only a radical change in thinking and actions of each person in particular would be an effective and durable first step, to thereby start by changing yourself so maybe someday the history of this world.
