The world has entered a new era of ‘water bankruptcy’ with irreversible consequences | CNN

A new United Nations report reveals that over-allocation of water, chronic groundwater depletion, pollution, and climate change have pushed the world into an era of 'water bankruptcy' with irreversible consequences. The report highlights severe water problems in regions like Kabul, Mexico City, and the US Southwest, emphasizing the need for long-term strategies to mitigate the crisis. It calls for transforming farming, better water monitoring, reducing pollution, and increasing protection for wetlands and groundwater to adapt to this new reality.
