In the face of increasing erratic weather events such as prolonged droughts, “demand for fresh water is likely to outstrip supply by 40 per cent by 2030 and a third of the world’s population will be living in areas of severe water stress by this time” . Additionally, by 2025, 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity, and two-thirds of the world population could live under water stress conditions . Further, the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) notes that there is evidence that global warming is speeding up the hydrologic cycle, - the rate at which water evaporates and falls again as rain or snow. It brings longer droughts between more intense periods of rain. Climate change has major implications for water use. We suggest that the smart water mangement practices in Korea would be helpful to mitigate water scarcity problem in Asia |
