Our Impact on the Planet.

Our planet is largely covered in water, yet only 0.01 percent is available for human use. 'Water Supply' looks at the problem of water scarcity, how we use and misuse this precious resource, and what can be done to conserve it, both now and in the future.

While many of us take water for granted, over one billion people currently lack safe water and about 2.5 billion lack adequate sanitation. Over the next century, as the world's population continues to rise, and demand grows, water will increasingly become a life-and-death issue for the human race.

The environmental strand of the '21st Century Debates' series looks at the impact human development is having on the planet and how this could affect our future. At the dawn of a new millennium, we are consuming more energy and producing more waste than ever before.

What are the effects of our consumption on the natural world and how long can it last? This series examines the difficult decisions faced by governments and organisations concerned with these issues and asks what we as individuals can do to help.
