Overpopulation, mismanagement, and global warming are combining to create a serious new threat to the environment and communities around the world: lack of water. In 2002 the world consumed 3 trillion gallons of water every day, and rates of consumption are only increasing. Clearly, we are on a path towards a water crisis.
