Water for people
Water resource threshold emphasize on mitigating the future risks of water depletion. The world is undergoing water crisis due to its scarcity that is important for human survival. The agenda is to protect water for future generations by taking adequate measures such as setting a limit on its use. The countries need to tackle this problem urgently by adopting strategy of saving water and planet earth. Water resource threshold emphasize on managing water demand by rising population. Changing patterns of water use can play positive role in this endeavor CITATION UNE18 \l 1033 (UNESCO). The challenge that I would prioritize according to UNESCO report is controlling harmful human activities such as releasing pollutants in environment and excessive use of water. These two strategies could be useful in controlling water resources. Pollutants released in river and air leads to greenhouse gas generation that threatens water resources.
I think that the most important method for resolving this issue is by rationing water. This will prevent people from wasting water and will also develop attitude of using it with caution and according to the need. The best solution is by changing water consumption behavior of the population and by making them realize their responsibility towards the planet. The policies developed by states such as restricting companies to generate pollution or cutting fossil fuel consumption is time consuming. The behaviors of people can be changed by educating them and giving awareness about the need for saving water.
One least important challenge at the moment is restricting infrastructure development. This is not possible at the moment because world has already urbanized and rapid population growth also exhibits the need for infrastructure and housing. Infrastructure development is linked to global warming but it cannot be limited at the moment.
