In the United States alone, statistics indicate that 30% of fresh water are being used for power generation. The sequence of events are

  1. Power Generation
  2. Greenhouse Gas Emission
  3. Global Warming
  4. Drought
  5. Thirsty Planet

If the world will not change the means of energy usage and power generation, the world will be in chaos fighting for water resources.

This is not a government only endeavour  but every citizen of the world can do their own little way of sharing to prevent creating a thirsty planet.
