According to The World Counts (2022) It takes 10,000 litres of water to produce
one kilogram of cotton. They mention that cotton production nearly made a
whole Aral sea disappear – mainly because of cotton cultivation.“The water
consumed to grow India’s cotton exports in 2013 would be enough to supply 85%
of the country’s 1.24 billion people with 100 litres of water every day for a year.
Meanwhile, more than 100 million people in India do not have access to safe
water” (The Guardian, 2015). Also there are deadly dust from cotton chemicals.
Instead of the Aral sea, 43 million tons of pesticide-laden dust is blown into the
air every year.
