[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1456240471182","data":"Water shortage is the critical problem which is being faced by many countries in the world since years. The scarcity of water is increasing day by day. Presently water shortage is affecting nearly two-thirds of world\u2019s population for a month every year. The crisis is far worse than previously thought.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1456240550949","data":"56cc77e398d26"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1456240570514","data":"Save for later <\/b><\/p>According to the survey, at least over 4 billion people, live with severe water scarcity for at least one month every year. \nAccording to new researches, the major reason for the water scarcity is increasing population and also through eating meat which resulting in the increasing water consumption. World Economic Forum, rated water crises as one of the greatest risks of harm to the people in the next decade. This results in migration.  <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1456240614479","data":"56cc781d8389a"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1456240633109","data":"A recent study found that climate change made the severe 2007-2010 drought much more likely and the drought led to mass migration of farming families into cities.\n\u201cIf you look at environmental problems, water scarcity is certainly the top problem,\u201d said Prof Arjen Hoekstra, at the University of Twente in the Netherlands and who led the new research. \u201cOne place where it is very, very acute is in Yemen.\u201d\nYemen is one of the most drought affected countries in the world. Even the rich cities in the world like London are facing this problem.\n <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1456240530220","data":"56cc77cc75aa0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1456240662770","data":"The new study, published in the journal Science Advances on Friday, is the first to examine global water scarcity on a monthly basis and at a resolution of 31 miles or less. The study analysed data from 1996-2005 and found that the usage of water is more than twice the amount being replenished.\nResearches concluded that more that 1.8 billion people suffer severe water scarcity for at least half of every year. The growing population requires more food but due to scarcity the food production is decreasing. Nearly 25% of water wastage is via meat consumption. It takes over 15,000 litres of water to make 1kg of beef. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1456240744516","data":"56cc78a022d34"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1456240758775","data":"The new research also included the environmental water requirements, i.e water needed for survival of aquatic animals. Rivers and lakes plays a major role for these aquatic animals like fish. Even just one month of severe water scarcity can have a overwhelming impact on the health of a river said Hoekstra. The scarcity of water is causing a collapse to aquatic wildlife around the globe. <\/p>"}]
