Abstract:

The growing environmental problems, including the diminishing natural water resources, greater water demand triggered by population growth and urbanization, deteriorated water quality, and highly changing climate, have highlighted the importance of considering the sustainability of water resource and supply systems in both the urban and rural areas. Specifically, the world population continues to expand with a growth rate of 1.2% each year, resulting in increased pressure on water quality, safety and health. This chapter overviews the current situations in water availability over the world, which based on information from literature review, recent research studies, and analyses of the case studies. It focuses on the issues related to the deficiency of water quantity and deterioration of water quality. With identified problems and challenges, this chapter also discusses some potential responses, opportunities and solutions to combat with water scarcity.
