World water shortages are now more apparent than ever. The present dire situation in Somalia and the huge drought in Texas, USA to name a few bears this environmental degradation out.
"The United Nations estimates up to 750,000 people may die as a result of the drought and subsequent famine in Somalia. That figure eclipses the death toll of the Asian tsunami and Haiti earthquake combined."
Here below is a short film entitled Watershed from Temujin Doran, which is a brief explanation of how the planet's freshwater reserves have become depleted and is based on figures taken from the 2006 Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, no less.
