Did you know, half the world’s population experiences severe water scarcity for at least part of the year?
So, are the world’s water towers running dry?
The United Nations World Water Development Report 2025: Mountains and glaciers – Water towers – report reveals that rapid glacier melting threatens the freshwater supply for over two billion people globally. It has also led to the lack of access to safely managed sanitation for 3.5 billion people.
