71 percent of the water content in the world is made up of seas and oceans across the globe.
The balance 29 percent is in the form of drinking water below ground level and in the form of ice rocks & pieces.
With the climate changes experienced over the last few decades, these ice part have started melting, which results in the rise in ocean levels.
In this scenario, scientists from Massachusetts Technology Company undertook a research on the water problems to be faced by the planet earth in the future.
The scientists estimated that there will be the severe water shortage in the year 2050 in the largest landmass in the world, Asia. Especially, large countries like China & India will suffer from severest water shortage.
The reason for this attributed partly to the socio-economic changes experienced in the present period. Pollution of air by smoke and gases is the main reason for the climate changes.
Mr. Adam Scalcher, one of the members of the research team from Massachusetts Technology firm, decisively confirmed that the current economic and population growths are the two main reasons for the future severe water shortage.
It is estimated that around 100 Crore persons will be facing severe water shortage in Asia in another 35 years.
