Fresh water constitutes only %3 of all water on Earth.
Of this 3%, over 2.5% is frozen, locked up in Antarctica the Arctic. The remaining 0.5% constitutes our main clean water resource, which comes from underground aquifers, rainfall falling on land, natural lakes, man-made reservoirs and rivers.

There are a lot of way to stay hydrated. Here are the types of water:
Tap water
Mineral water
Spring water
Sparkling water
Distilled water
Purified water
Well water
Alkaline water

We need clean freshwater to produce our food for sure. In addition to agriculture, with industrial and municipal usage, we can categorize clean water usage in 3 main sections.
Even though proportions depends on continents, municipal usage doesn't exceed 25% and except Europe, the biggest part of the usage is generally separated for agriculture.

Desalination of water is very costly because it requires a lot of energy. The energy and the technology are both expensive.

Actually, it turns out that we ARE able to desalinate ocean water in to a fresh-drinkable water in many water filtration plants but nevertheless, even with the use of desalination machines, that is and surely will be inefficient when applied for an entire population, which is increasing immensely every year. Still, it is an avaliable option, and human beings are known for being survivors!

Water shortages could affect 5bn people by 2050, UN report warns

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
More than 5 billion people could suffer water shortages by 2050 due to climate change, increased demand and polluted supplies, according to a UN report on the state of the world's water. The comprehensive annual study warns of conflict and civilisational threats unless actions are taken to reduce the stress on rivers, lakes, aquifers, wetlands and reservoirs.

Although we seem to have rising temperatures, there is no evidence that is how enough to run our oceans dry, but in terms of drinking water, that will surely start to go down.

According to Professor Benjamin Sovacool from Aarhus University, Denmark,  unless water use is drastically reduced, severe water shortage will affect the entire planet by 2040.

Within three decades, almost 80% of the lands that depend on groundwater will start to reach their natural irrigation limits as the wells run dry. It is estimated that, by 2050, environmental flow limits will be reached for approximately 42% to 79% of the watershed in which there is groundwater pumping worldwide, and this will generally occur before substantial losses in groundwater storage are experienced.
As you can see down below, we do have a lot of water on earth, but only %3 is useful to human beings and even with the desalination, it is feared that it won’t be completely enough for all the population.

Turn off the tap when your we brush our teeth

Have a shower instead of a bath

Try to flush less 😊

While doing the laundry, put the whole basket in

Avoid using tap water as often, keep some water in the fridge!

Use the dishwashers on ECO setting! It can save up to 23 litres.

Watch our for leaking taps! Try to fix them

Reuse the rain water to clean your car or to water your flowers!

And when you do water your flowers, use a water can, not a hose!

Why doesn't everyone have access to clean water? What are the reasons of this?

# data[].attributes.body
Across the globe, nearly a billion people lack access to clean water. 2.5 billion people don’t have access to adequate sanitation, almost two-fifths of the world’s population.
Here are four reasons  why people don’t have access to clean water:
1- Lack of infrastructure and poor management of services
2-  Poverty and inequality
3- Climate change

4- Population increase

Inadequate sanitation is also a problem for 2.4 billion people—they are exposed to diseases, such as cholera and typhoid fever, and other water-borne illnesses. Two million people, mostly children, die each year from diarrheal diseases alone.

Is there any other effects of consuming contaminated water? Do they smell? How can we understand if the water is contaminated?

# data[].attributes.body
Here is a list of probable health problems in case of consuming contaminated water:
Gastrointestinal Problems

Diarrhea

Nausea

Intestinal or Stomach Cramping / Aches and Pains

Dehydration

In some cases the water could smell or taste different. However, many contaminants have no taste or odor. Boiling does kill most types of parasites, bacteria, and viruses. Yet, the most effective way to ensure that the water we consume is not contaminated is  to perform water tests.
