Water is often taken for granted. We use it on a daily basis without realizing how scarce it is. Almost 1/5 of the entire global population lives in water-scarce areas. This affects around 1.2 billion people and counting. A rising population is a key factor in the rising demand for water. As the population increases, the demand for food and energy — which use significant amounts of water to produce — increases as well. This poster aims to inform people of the severity of the water crisis, which hopefully makes them think twice before using excess water throughout their daily routines.
