"A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man.” On a global basis, the consumption of water goes first and foremost to agriculture: 70%, and thereafter 20% to industries and 10% for domestic use. The alarming factor is that freshwater consumption has tripled over the last 50 years. The demand is growing 64 billion cubic meters a year. Where are the trends taking us? @LehtmanMaria
