She will present the struggle for the right to water and water resources in the country and the Balkan region. And yet, about 90% of investments in water infrastructure come from the public sector. Global water demand is projected to increase by 55% by the middle of the century. Personal and domestic uses of water should have the highest priority over productive uses, such as agri-business and industry. Billions of people are being held back because their right to water and sanitation still needs to be fulfilled. On the same occasion, the United Nations 2023 Water Conference is being held in New York for the first time since 1977, while joint global initiatives have proclaimed the Water Justice Manifesto.

This World Water Day, celebrated under the theme [Accelerating change to solve the water and sanitation crisis](https://www.un.org/en/observances/water-day), we reflect on water scarcity here in Kenya and on the importance of the Ewaso Ng’iro River in tackling this issue and in supporting our livelihoods. When we perform these rites, we draw water from the river, mix it with milk, and splash it onto those involved to drive away evil eyes, cleanse, or as a unifying factor for our community. Historically, we have managed and protected the river using our Indigenous traditional knowledge through various cultural practices, communal sharing, and sustainable use of the resources within the basin. Water is a finite resource and should be used sustainably by the present for the future generation.

Yet a huge chunk of people (one in four, or 2 billion people worldwide according to the UN, and 771 million people as per water.org) do not have access to clean water.

Seven out of the 10 most water-stressed nations are in the Middle East and North Africa.

Seven out of the 10 most water-stressed nations are in the Middle East and North Africa. Rising temperatures, an increased demand for water and the construction of dams have led to several lakes shrinking across the Middle East. The Middle East has a predominantly dry and arid climate with low rainfall and high temperatures. It is located in northwestern Iran and has now all but dried up to become a salt plain. When water withdrawals surpass available resources, a country is either depleting its aquifers faster than they can be replenished or has significantly high levels of desalination water production. The timelapse videos below show some lakes have all but disappeared.

“Pictures of the Earth's water cycle used in education and research throughout the world are in urgent need of updating to show the effects of human interference,” he says. “We need to reconceptualise the way in which we think about hydrological systems by showing they cannot be viewed purely in the context of natural processes. Basic diagrams tend to show the cycle of water from evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection, but leave out how things such as human consumption, climate change and land use can have an impact. He recalls growing up in Southern California and one day opening a telephone directory and reading about water-saving tips as part of emergency plans for water scarcity. “We cannot tackle the water crisis without understanding the fundamentals of water science, and how people and water interact,” he says. It is estimated that about 700 million people could be displaced because of intense water scarcity by 2030.

Coupled with inadequate sanitation this can affect how people prepare and eat their meals by increasing the incidence of waterborne diseases, a major cause of malnutrition. A quarter of the people around the world use unsafe drinking-water sources. It will come as no surprise that the most food-insecure people live in developing countries and in arid areas where little water is available – or too much water, of too poor a quality. These benefits also help to increase people’s food security, empowering them over the long term. Bad soils mean more carbon heading into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change, intensifying extreme weather events, accelerating land degradation and perpetuating the cycle. Water gushes where it should trickle and trickles where it should pour freely, thanks to climate extremes.

We cannot afford to be complacent, and we are ready to do our part to create a water resilient world. Water stress is also a driver of geopolitical instability and triggers conflicts. By 2030, the EU targets to support the access of 70 million people to an improved drinking water source and/or sanitation facility. Some are extremely persistent even to the most advanced wastewater treatment. The EU continues to support universal access to water, sanitation and hygiene services through its development cooperation and humanitarian assistance. This is not only a particularly critical challenge for 40% of the world population that lives in areas affected, but it is vital for us all.
