Groundwater in Rural Development : Facing the Challenges of Supply and Resource Sustainability
Some 200 million people lived on Planet Earth at the start of the modern era. That number rose to 2.5 billion by 1950. At mid-2008, the population is now 7.0 billion and is expected to reach 9.0 billion by 2040. It thus took 1,950 years for the glo...

Some 200 million people lived on Planet
Earth at the start of the modern era. That number rose to
2.5 billion by 1950. At mid-2008, the population is now 7.0
billion and is expected to reach 9.0 billion by 2040. It
thus took 1,950 years for the global population to grow
ten-fold but only an additional 58 years to nearly triple.
And throughout this period the global availability of water
resources has remained more or less constant. Growing ever
more food to feed rising populations will be possible only
with increasingly large amounts of water being used for
agricultural irrigation, even allowing for further advances
in plant genetics. Groundwater widely developed by private
initiative but often stimulated by 'soft loan'
finance, guaranteed crop prices, and rural energy subsidies
will be a very important source of irrigation water. At the
same time groundwater will continue to be the predominant
source of household water for the rural population in
developing nations. |
