NOTES FOR OPENING KEYNOTE
AUSTRALIAN WATER SUMMIT, 1 APRIL
2009
MAUDE BARLOW, SENIOR ADVISOR ON
WATER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED
NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY
THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS
Here are just a few headlines from
the last month alone that give a flavour of
what we are dealing with:
•
Argentina is experiencing the
worst drought in half a century, pushing the
country to a state of emergency
•
California facing worst drought
in modern history.
•
Nevada has been declared a
natural disaster area because of severe
drought
•
Jordan facing historic drought
•
Kenya has declared a national drought emergency
•
In Spain, water is the new battleground as swaths
of Southwest Spain are
steadily turning into desert
•
Pakistan is on the brink of “water disaster” due
to accelerated melting of
the glaciers and massive depletion in the Indus
Basin Rivers
•
South Asia’s growing water stress threatens river
basins that sustain half
the region’s 1.5 billion people
•
China is facing the worst drought in 50 years,
leaving 4 and a half million
Chinese without drinking water and destroying
half this year’s wheat crop.
•
Israel faces worst water crisis in 80 years
•
Water crisis hits Iraq
•
The world is on the edge of “water bankruptcy”
recently conceded the
World Economic Forum.
Suddenly it is so clear: the world is running
out of clean water. This information
contradicts what we all learned in school,
which was that there is an infinite
hydrologic cycle and we cannot run out of
water, no matter how much we use or
waste. But what our teachers did not know and
could not teach us was that in a
few short decades, humans would create a
freshwater demand that far outstrips
the earth’s supply.
How is this possible?
