Worldwide it is estimated that approximately 1.2 billion people lack access to freshwater, which equates to one sixth of the world’s population. By 2050 this figure will have risen to 2 billion. The main environmental focus for the past decade has been CO2 emissions, yet for many around the world a lack of clean water, water shortages and poor sanitation is a more pressing issue.
With the World Health Organization estimating that 80% of illnesses and deaths in developing countries are caused by unsanitary water or lack of water, and the US Government estimating that at least 36 states will experience water shortages in the next 3-6 years, the issue is truly a global one and not one for just the developing world.
How will the water industry address one of the most pressing human crises of the 21st century?
According to the World Water Council the use of renewable water resources has grown six-fold since 1900 and is expected to double again by 2050, therefore recycling wastewater to create fresh water supplies will be vital globally, especially for developing and third-world countries. The emerging environmental technologies sector is currently worth $600 billion worldwide and the water industry accounting for more than 50% of this business.
Artificial grass is one way to do your part. In the United States it is estimated that 60% of all water usage is for landscape irrigation. 60%! It is a combination of millions of households doing their part to help combat our water shortage. Imagine – 36 states with expected water shortages in the next 3 to 6 years!
