Water for the future

Water is essential to life and the economy, but it’s one of the most complex and finite resources. That’s because population growth, climate change, and pollution are all threatening the world’s freshwater supply. By 2050 world-wide demand for freshwater could rise about 30%.* Meeting this rapidly growing demand will require a global effort to develop water supplies, build infrastructure, and conserve the water we have.
