Abstract:

Water is central to the environment we live in, essential for the generation of energy we need and vital for growing food for our survival. That is, water is the vital link that connects food to energy and environment. This suggests that water security must be ensured, especially under the specter of global warming and the looming climate change. The questions we ask are: What is the current global water situation? What has happened or is happening to our water bodies and how are we managing them? Answers to these questions depend on the answers to the related questions: What is our water usage? How much water is available? What should we be doing to ameliorate water scarcity if there is one? What are the key issues and challenges for the future? These and related questions will be dealt with in this paper. Finally, a personal perspective on water security and engineering solutions will be presented.
