It’s a good ten years since Nestlé chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe joined those who believe that, if nothing is done, we are likely to run out of water before we run out of oil.
Although there is no global scarcity as such, one fifth of the world’s population is without proper access to water and a further quarter in areas which lack the infrastructure to distribute water.
At the current rate of usage, however, water withdrawals will exceed renewals by 40% by 2030.
