Certain researches show that an average European/American uses about 90 liters of water/day for his personal necessities. Yes - 100 liters!!! This quantity seems to be exaggerated, isn't it? It's because you never thought about that. For example having shower twice a day will need about 75 liters of water, the rest 20-30 go on personal consumption (about 1-2 liters/day) and dish washing.
It's high time that we think about this, because we use drinkable water for our necessities, while the world has only 3% of drinkable water from the total world's water system The nearest future may bring a problem like water shortage, which will have irrecoverable effects. Why don't we begin to think about it now and use it rationally, it's still not late

There were opinions saying that the subject of the 3rd World War will be the drinkable water, which is now becoming less and less.

There are solutions for filling the shortage of water. Since the climate is getting warmer, African countries (and not only), can import iceberg. A piece of iceberg can supply a little town with water for a very long time.

Yes tulaka. But another problem appears here: since it will be brought as far as from Antarctica/Arctic, the transportaion will be very expensive, and, in turn, the water.

there are certain towns in Europe that are used to collect water from the roofs after rain. This water is used for many household things, including consumption.

that's why many houses have their roofs pained white. White colour is making the water poor as it was given by the rain, no bacterias.

water desalination is a solution for the water shortage. However this process if very expensive and requires a lot of energy. Scientists are now working upon a better universal desalination device.

[tulaka]

another way to save the water is to reuse the water from the sewerage networks. The point is that it's simple but the technology should be expensive.

I don't know what will be the genuine resion for 3rd WW but yes the way people wasting water one day defiantly come where we will have to pay the price for each drop of the water.
