United nations human rights council: The Water Crisis that is Flooding the 21st Century
There is a silent crisis that is seeping through the fractured cracks of the Anthropocene. It ever so slowly streams implicitly, lurking in the shadows of the natural world. As the global community continues to pursue its pandemonium, it disregards one of the most imminent threats that humanity is facing: the water crisis of the Twenty-First Century. Due to climate change among other abiotic factors and the exploitation of natural resources, freshwater resources have been dwindling internationally. Drought, mismanagement of water resources, and exponential population growth are causing a depletion of freshwater resources causing conflicts upon the distribution of such natural resources. By effective conservation efforts and proper management of the administration of freshwater, nations may effectively collaborate towards the common objective of preserving what is most essential: water and life.
