Ecowatch - New research has found that the number of people living in cities without access to safe drinking water worldwide will double by 2050, with an 80 percent increase in demand for water predicted for urban areas by that time, The Guardian reported... According to the UN World Water Development Report, today almost one billion people in cities worldwide are facing water scarcity, and that number is expected to increase to between 1.7 to 2.4 billion within the next 30 years. The report found that water scarcity is also becoming more common in rural areas, with water shortages affecting from two to three billion people for at least a month out of each year, reported The Guardian.
