In May 2016, the World Bank reported that fresh water scarcity could be the biggest problem facing the economies of the world.
Economies across large portions of the planet could shrink dramatically by 2050 as climate change causes fresh water scarcity issues.
A few regions may suffer particularly badly. One standout is the Middle East, where gross domestic products (GDP) could slip by as much as 14% unless the region comes up with ways to significantly reallocate the supply of fresh water.
