Why This Matters
Water is one of the planet’s most precious yet mismanaged resources, especially in tropical regions. These areas either have seasonal overabundance or prolonged drought, creating unstable and unsustainable living conditions. Communities often face a paradox: flooded streets during monsoons, and dried-up wells within months.
It is often presumed that water scarcity is due to climate change. However, in many cases, throughout the world, it stems from poor infrastructure, lack of storage, and inefficient use.
