residents crowd around a government tanker delivering drinking water at a slum in New Delhi, India. In a city known for its vertiginous inequalities, water shortage affects people from both upscale gated communities and dust-blown slums, as every day, supply falls more than 160 million gallons short.

The Middle East is dealing with water shortages now more than ever, and research shows, that if nothing is done to improve their crisis, it will only get progressively worse for at least the next 25 years. The Middle East is number 14 of the world’s 33 most water-stressed countries. Water shortage is threatening economic growth and national security and forcing more people to move into already crowded urban areas. There is little freshwater available in the Middle East and drainage water from agricultural areas and sewage discharge has put a constraint to it’s availability. Approximately, 3.4 million people die each year from water, sanitation, and hygiene-related causes, most of which can be prevented with common vaccines. An organization, called Water credit, is dedicated to ending this crisis. They claim that at their current rate, they believe they could end the global water and sanitation crisis for nearly 100 million people by 2020. Also, USAID is focusing on advancing water supply, sanitation, and hygiene in places like the Middle East. Their objective is to “save lives and advance development through improvements in water supply, sanitation, and hygiene(WASH) programs, and through sound management and use of water for food security.”
