e in several developing countries. Several countries provide water to their consumers only for a few hours of the day. Following are some of the causes that lead to this water shortage that I can think of:1.Contamination of water supplies2.Changing weather patterns (Is it due to global warming?)3.Just increased demand for increasing population4.Increased consumption from changing life styles5.Salt water intrusion into groundwater aquifers due to melting ofPolar ice caps Mr. Ravi Damera had touched upon what I also thought to be the same issues and concerns for the future of fresh drinking water in the year 2025. His opinion confirmed my assumptions as too the current and future crisis we will be facing. Later in the same day, I received an email response from Dr. Altaf Memon. As I had mentioned before, I had sent him the same question, but received a somewhat different response, which was; Richard, I do agree that the water resources are becoming limited to sustain the ever burgeoning population. I have read many reports forecasting the time when it will emerge as the prime bone of contention among the nations and people. However, it is hard to really forecast with any accuracy. But definitely the trends are towards this scenario happening sooner or later. I hope this gives you some direction in your research. Thanks. Al Memon. Dr. Altaf Memon had agreed with my theory of a looming fresh water crisis, but felt there was still insufficient information to place an exact date on when this will occur. I was happy with this response also because, it is not always easy to predict a date when an event will occur, but too acknowledge that it will occur reaffirms most of my theory that there is a crisis developing. Later that day, I replied to each of them and thanked them for their time and effort in helping me to compile this report. ScenariosBest Case isnt Utopia Key achievements in 2025.
