Today's focus on the credit crisis and rising prices for food and oil has temporarily put another global scarcity in the shade: water.The United Nations predicts that by 2025, two-thirds of world 6.7 billion population representing 60 countries will experience severe water shortage measured by litres per person per day (i.e. litres per capita/day) at 135 litres per capita/day, bare minimum for a country to prosper. At present, only Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates fall short of this low-water mark in terms of theit naturally available renewable water resources.
