"Mga Solusyon ukol sa Nakakabahalang Pakaubos sa Suplay ng Tubig"

Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet water demand. It affects every
continent and was listed in 2019 by the World Economic Forum as one of the largest global
risks in terms of potential impact over the next decade. It is manifested by partial or no
satisfaction of expressed demand, economic competition for water quantity or quality,
disputes between users, irreversible depletion of groundwater, and negative impacts on the
environment. Two-thirds of the global population (4 billion people) live under conditions of
severe water scarcity at least 1 month of the year. Half a billion people in the world face
severe water scarcity all year round. Half of the world’s largest cities experience water
scarcity.

A mere 0.014% of all water on Earth is both fresh and easily accessible. Of the remaining
water, 97% is saline and a little less than 3% is hard to access. Technically, there is a sufficient
amount of freshwater on a global scale. However, due to unequal distribution (exacerbated by
climate change) resulting in some very wet and some very dry geographic locations, plus a
sharp rise in global freshwater demand in recent decades driven by industry, humanity is
facing a water crisis. Demand is expected to outstrip supply by 40% in 2030, if current trends
continue.

PERO ANO NGA BA ANG MAGAGAWA NATIN PARA MASAPATAN AT MASOLUSYUNAN ANG
KAWALAN NG TUBIG?

1.) MAKIPAG-UGNAYAN SA BARANGGAY- maraming proyekto sa lokal na baranggay para

masolusyunan ang kawalan ng sapat na tubig. Magagawa ito sa pamamagitan ng paglalagay
ng mga poso at balon.

2.) HUMINGI NG TULONG SA GOBYERNO- pwede kang humingi ng tulong sa gobyerno para
aksyunan ang kawalan ng tubig sa inyong lugar.
3.) MAGPAGAWA NG SARILI MONG POSO AT GRIPO- Kadalasan na ang paglapit sa mga
ahensya ay hindi agad naaasikaso dahil sa dami ng gawain. Kaya mag-ipon upang
makapagpakabit kayo ng sariling supply ng inyong tubig.

4.) MAGTIPID SA TUBIG- Ang kawalan ng tubig ay kadalasan ng resulta ng pagsasayang ng mga
tao ng tubig. Kaya makiisa sa pagtitipid ng tubig na ginagamit ng inyong pamilya upang kahit
papaano ay makabawas kayo sa mga nagaaksaya nito.

Fast facts: Global water crisis

844 million people lack basic drinking water access, more than 1 of every 10 people on the planet.

Women and girls spend an estimated 200 million hours hauling water every day.

The average woman in rural Africa walks 6 kilometers every day to haul 40 pounds of water.

Every day, more than 800 children under age 5 die from diarrhea attributed to poor water and sanitation.

2.3 billion people live without access to basic sanitation.

892 million people practice open defecation.

90 percent of all natural disasters are water-related.
