Study Warns 66% of Global Population May Face Water Scarcity by 2100

New research highlights the worsening crisis driven by climate change, socioeconomic factors, and water quality issues.

Researchers project a significant increase in global water scarcity, affecting two-thirds of the population by the century's end.
The study emphasizes that water quality is a crucial but often overlooked factor in water scarcity assessments.
Water scarcity will disproportionately impact developing countries in the Global South, with widespread and prolonged effects.
Climate change, population growth, and economic development are key drivers of the escalating water crisis.
The study calls for urgent action to reduce water demands and eliminate pollution to mitigate the crisis.
