Water is essential for healthy human societies and natural environments to thrive and prosper. Yet as the population approaches nine billion, nearly half of those people could suffer water stress by 2030 as a result of accelerating urbanization, new consumption habits and climate change. This report provides option for a viable and sustainable alternative; one that swaps economic growth fuelled by escalating water use and environmental degradation for a more durable model of social, economic and environmental resilience.
