Threats to Global Water Security: Population Growth, Terrorism, Climate Change, or Commercialisation?
As the water crisis intensifies and climate change predictions suggest worse to come, no single factor is responsible. This paper looks at a number of sources of insecurity in water supplies. It concludes that population growth and its multiplier factors, such as irrigated agriculture, urbanisation and water pollution, are the prime causes. But major questions need to be addressed regarding financial and political control.
