A quarter of humanity faces extreme water stress – and it could get worse, according to a new report

According to a new report, the world is facing “ an unprecedented water crisis”, driven by soaring demand and the accelerating climate crisis. A quarter of the world's population currently faces "extremely high water stress" every year, with An additional 1 billion people are expected to be affected by 2050, according to the World Resources Institute’s Water Risk Atlas released Wednesday. According to the report, which is published every four years, extreme water scarcity means countries are using almost all the water they have — at least 80 % of their renewable resources. ( , CNN)
