The world is staring into the abyss of a water crisis that threatens to render it 'bankrupt'. A stark warning from the UN suggests that human activities have pushed the planet to the edge, with many regions now facing severe water shortages. The effects are being felt particularly hard in Iran, where locals are searching for answers as their once-thriving rivers and lakes dry up.
Climate change is often cited as a major culprit behind this predicament, however some argue that it may be a warning sign from nature itself. In areas such as the Oroumieh Lake, solidified salts have become so entrenched in the ground that ships are becoming trapped. This stark image serves as a grim reminder of the scale of the crisis.
According to UN sources, the global water situation is precarious at best. The consequences of inaction could be catastrophic for communities reliant on this precious resource.
