Water scarcity is a topic that has grown immensely over the past few years, particularly because the topic itself has become an increasingly big reality for countless cities around the world.

One example of hundreds of wells running completely dry, in 2014 in California, has forced residents to switch to using bottled water until they had access to water supply closer to the suburbs of the city.

Other than this example, there are also many others, and if that’s not enough reason to implement change and solve the water crisis, then the problem surrounding pollution and climate change, is.

Water scarcity is becoming a bigger problem than ever before, and because water is considered the most important resource for the sustainability of all life, it is forcing countries to make some drastic changes with how they manage their water supply, their plans to replenish water sources, sustain current resources, reduce pollution, and plan for the future.

Cities that are on the Brink of Running Dry

  • Cairo, Egypt

This is no shock whatsoever, as Cairo consists of mainly desert. However, other than that, the population of Cairo, has tripled, and the number resource of water, the Nile River, has become polluted over the last few years. The city is speculated to run dry by 2025.

  • London, England

Compared to Cairo, this city will most definitely come as a shocker, as London is set to experience problems by the year 2025 and have serious shortages by the year 2040.

  • Beijing, China

If housing 20% of the world’s total population isn’t enough to make you believe that the city is in a lot of trouble when it comes to enough water supply, then the fact that it only has 7% of the world’s freshwater resources, will. Additionally, the city also has major pollution problems, setting the city up for disaster by 2030.

  • Moscow, Texas

Looking at a range of cities around the world, this snow-dense city in Russia is also at the top of the list and are experiencing serious pollution issues caused by the Soviet era and still today, is continuing to contaminate the city’s freshwater reserves. 60% of freshwater resources in Moscow is already considered useless.
