The world’s fresh water is being used at an unsustainable rate.
NASA has two satellites surveying the world’s water movements, and noting where the water shortages are.
As well, a new report from the University of NSW, published last month, found that Australia’s freshwater supply – from rivers and dams – is dwindling as the climate warms.
The team of engineers and number crunchers predicted the frequency of water restrictions in Australia will treble by the end of the century.
