RE: In 20 years, water demand will exceed supply by 40 percent
Not to say we shouldn't be doing something about water because we DEFINATELY SHOULD because it's the right thing to do. But let's be careful about where we lay blame.
A 2003 report issued by the United Nations Population Division warned that ?future fertility levels in most developing countries will likely fall below 2.1 children per woman, the level needed to ensure the long-term replacement of the population. By 2050, the UN document says, three out of every four countries in the less developed regions will be experiencing below-replacement fertility, with all developed countries far below replacement level as well.?
