Humanity faces a global water supply crisis. Less than 1% of all fresh water is readily accessible for human use and more than 1.8 billion people lack adequate access to drinking water. As the water extraction levels from rivers, lakes and aquifers approach historically maximum levels, water scarcity remains a serious concern across the globe. Entire regions in North Africa, as well as the Australian and Indian subcontinents, are unable to meet the water demands of urban areas and local farmers. But dwindling water supply is also an issue here in the United States. This decline has tripled water rates and increased water rationing in places like San Diego and municipalities along the California coastline.
