From the supplier: Almost 40% of the global population face a serious water shortage, with most of these people in the developing countries. Nearly 65% of the world's population are projected to experience conditions of water scarcity by 2050. Water scarcity is already a serious issue in most Middle Eastern and North African nations. Eight Middle Eastern nations have already reached what hydrologists call conditions of absolute water scarcity, and many others are approaching this mark. Water scarcity and its ramifications in the Arab world are discussed.
