Only 0.3% of the world’s water is usable. The rest can be used to solidify sandcastles on the beach.
We’ve already established that 70% of our usable water goes to agriculture.
The other 30%
More specifically, 10% is used by us, at home or in offices. 20% is used in the industry, to produce goods and services for us to consume. That tiny slice of the pie, however, is not enough to quench the thirst of everyone of Earth.
With agriculture and industry using up so much water at such unsustainable rates, it comes as no surprise that people are suffering from water shortages in developing countries, who don’t share the same luxury of a lie as we do.
