Fresh Water resourcesFresh Water resources
Global OverviewGlobal Overview
While 67% of Earth’s surface is covered by
water, only less than 2.7% of global water
is freshwater. Most of the freshwater
(2.05%) are locked in ice caps and glaciers.
Only less than 0.7% is available for human
use.
Over two thirds of the
earth's surface is covered
with water, 97.2% of which
is contained in the five
oceans. The Antarctic ice
sheet, containing 90% of all
fresh water on the planet, is
visible at the bottom.
Atmospheric water vapour
can be seen as clouds,
contributing to the earth's
albedo.

Scarcity of fresh waterScarcity of fresh water
On a global basis, fresh water is a
increasingly scarce resource. It is partially
caused by increasing population coupled by
change of consumption pattern and climate
changes.
Water consumption for foodWater consumption for food
production (I)production (I)
Meat production use a lot of water when
compared to growing food crops.
A shift in food consumption pattern toward
more meat consumption will cause a
substantial increase in water consumption.

Industrialized / developed countries tend to
use more water in their industrial
production.
Other countries tend to use more water for
agricultural uses.
Fresh Water supplyFresh Water supply
Problems related to Water crisisProblems related to Water crisis
Inadequate access to safe drinking water by
over 1.1 billion people
Groundwater overdrafting leading to
diminished agricultural yields
Overuse and pollution of water resources
harming biodiversity
Regional conflicts over scarce water
resources sometimes resulting in warfare.
Threats to fresh water resourcesThreats to fresh water resources
Climate change causes change in
frequencies of droughts and floods.
Depletion of aquifers caused by over-
consumption as a result of population
growth.
Pollution and contamination by sewage,
agricultural and industrial runoff.

Fresh Water OutlookFresh Water Outlook
Estimated from existing data, some
countries are going to experience serious
shortage of fresh water supply in the
coming 20 years time.
China, India and South Africa and Middle
East countries may among the most
adversely affected countries.

Water in ChinaWater in China
 According to the World Bank forecast, Mainland China
has only a per-capita share of 2700 cubic meters per
annum, one fourth of the world's average at present.
 Half of China's 617 largest cities face water deficits.
Beijing is among the most water-short.
 The areas south of the Yangtze River, China's longest,
which account for only 36.5 per cent of the country's total
territory, have 80.9 per cent of its total water resources.
However the areas north of the Yangtze, which make up
63.5 per cent of China, possess only 19.1 per cent of total
water resources.
Desalination of sea water asDesalination of sea water as
fresh water supplyfresh water supply
Desalination of sea water can be done either
via distillation or membrane process.
Both process requires large amount of
energy and thus costly, which means
desalination remains an expensive option
for providing reliable fresh water supply,
restricted to only economically well-off
countries.
