The growing global recognition among citizens, governments, and civil society that water is a precious and fragile resource is a hopeful sign. Through crisis often comes opportunity and ingenuity and these are the precise developments urgently required today to address water scarcity and related issues. Moreover, the expected global population surge from 7.1 billion (2015) to 9.7 billion (2050) will place considerable strains upon available water resources. There are an estimated 800 million people today without an adequate water supply and this number is expected to reach approximately 50 percent of global population by 2050.
