Synopsis (short abstract) Water use has been growing globally at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century, and an increasing number of regions are reaching the limit at which reliable water services can be delivered. Demographic growth, rapidly growing urban areas and economic development are all putting unprecedented pressure on water, especially in dry regions. Growing scarcity and competition for water stand as a major threat to future advances in food security and poverty alleviation, especially in rural areas.
