AB The  availability  of  clean  water  is  paramount  to  the  sustainability  of  life  and  good  health.  Adequate  supplies  of  water  are  essential  for  agriculture  and  societal  development.  Water  availability  is  scarce,  with  less  than  1%  of  global  fresh  water  accessible  while  the  global  demand  for  water  is  increasing  substantially.  By  2050,  feeding  a  planet  of  9  billion  people  will  require  an  estimated  50%  increase  in  agricultural  production  and  a  15%  increase  in  water  consumption.
