This is expected to rise to about half of the human population by 2030. While of the world\u2019s 263 trans-boundary basins, more than 60 per cent lack any type of cooperative management framework.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c 12Million people were affected by floods between 2005-2015, 1.8billion people now use a source of drinking water contaminated by faeces. There could be 40 per cent gap between water demand and water available by 2030, 80 per cent or more wastewater returns to the environment without adequate treatment and 30 per cent of global water abstraction is lost through leakage\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the report stressed that successful water management will serve as a foundation for the achievement of many of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as for SDG 6 \u2013 which is to \u2018Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWater is becoming a pressing societal and geopolitical issue \u2013 in some regions, it is already of critical national concern. \u2018Business as usual\u2019 will mean the world will miss water-related SDGs by a wide margin; up to 40 per cent of the world\u2019s population will be living in seriously water-stressed areas by 2035; and the ability of ecosystems to provide fresh water supplies will become increasingly compromised. Wealthier diets cost water; producing 1kg of rice requires around 3,500L of water while 1kg of beef costs 15,000L. Wastewater-related emission of methane and nitrous oxide could rise by 50per cent and 25 per cent\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Analysing that 60 per cent of fresh water comes from River Basins that cross national borders, the organization urged that trans-boundary water agreements need to be robust enough to deal with increasingly uncertain environmental and climatic conditions, and the social\/demographic changes that will raise global population to 9.7 billion by 2050 and double the number of people who live in urban areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDifferent conceptualisations of water can and have led to conflict. The perception of water as a human right and a common public and environmental good is often opposed by the view of water as a commodity that needs to be priced to ensure efficient and sustainable use. Not only nations but provinces and communities will need to align water perspectives to allow for peaceful and effective integrated water resource management and sustainable use. Effective management will mean tackling neglected issues such as water wastage in current systems, which has been estimated to be up to 30per cent; common institutional dysfunction, unethical practices, poor accountability, and corruption in the water sectors of many countries\u201d, it states.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/rise-in-global-temperature-may-induce-19-2-billion-water-spending\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHOTO: google.com\/search Depressed by the global rise in average temperature, the United Nations Think Tank, (UNU-INWEH) &hellip; <a title=\"Rise in global temperature may induce $19.2 billion water spending\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/rise-in-global-temperature-may-induce-19-2-billion-water-spending\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Rise in global temperature may induce $19.2 billion water spending<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7730,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[1399,41,15282],"class_list":["post-7729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-development","tag-property","tag-ross"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2166,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/ifc-launches-platform-5bn-infrastructure-investments\/","url_meta":{"origin":7729,"position":0},"title":"IFC launches platform for $5bn infrastructure investments","author":"Amazing Property","date":"March 18, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"The International Finance Corporation, IFC, the private sector arm of World Bank Group, has launched a new programme that aims to raise $5 billion from global institutional investors to modernize infrastructure in emerging markets over the next five years.
