Since 1997, it gathers countries each three years trying to find solutions to water issues. On March 09, the World Water Forum tried to answer to the problem of « Bridging Divides for Water ».
Water is one of the main issues in development in terms of ecology, energy but also human growth.
It is thought that the world population will increase from 6 to 9 billion about 2025 and it is necessary to provide safe water to every body.
And yet, most part of water is used in agriculture (70%) and industry (20%). These two activities create contamination and negative effects on the climate&on the earth.
Moreover, water is such a tense issue : there are many conflicts for it. Just an example : Washington blames Mexico to pollute the Rio Grande's water which constitutes a natural border between the 2 countries.
During the WWF, Argentina&South America countries, Spain, France and others suggested to establish a water right. Unfortunately, they failed...
Water is an issue increasing with time, an explosive issue...
