Encompassing both glaciers and the Amazon basin, Latin America remains one
of the biggest sources of fresh water in the world. Yet drinking water is scarce
and for some it's a luxury. Will there be a battle for fresh water in the
future? And if it runs out, what other alternatives are there?
En Español
La vida sobre la tierra no puede existir sin ella, sin embargo el agua se toma
por dada.
Se ha dicho que en el futuro el agua es como el petróleo, es un recurso natural
sin el cual no podemos vivir, a diferencia del petróleo no hay conocidas
alternativas para reemplazar el agua potable.
Latino América con sus glaciares y el río Amazonas posee uno de los recursos más
grandes de agua dulce en el mundo. A pesar de todo el agua es escasa y para
algunos en un lujo.
¿Habrá una guerra por el agua potable en el futuro, y sí se acabara que otras
alternativas hay? |
