While 67% of Earth’s surface is covered by water, only less than 2.7% of global water is freshwater. Most of the freshwater (2.05%) are locked in ice caps and glaciers. Only less than 0.7% is available for human use.

Over two thirds of the earth's surface is covered with water, 97.2% of which is contained in the five oceans. The Antarctic ice sheet, containing 90% of all fresh water on the planet, is visible at the bottom. Atmospheric water vapour can be seen as clouds, contributing to the earth's albedo.

On a global basis, fresh water is a increasingly scarce resource. It is partially caused by increasing population coupled by change of consumption pattern and climate changes.

Meat production use a lot of water when compared to growing food crops.
A shift in food consumption pattern toward more meat consumption will cause a substantial increase in water consumption.

Industrialized / developed countries tend to use more water in their industrial production.
Other countries tend to use more water for agricultural uses.

Inadequate access to safe drinking water by over 1.1 billion people
Groundwater overdrafting leading to diminished agricultural yields
Overuse and pollution of water resources harming biodiversity
Regional conflicts over scarce water resources sometimes resulting in warfare.

Estimated from existing data, some countries are going to experience serious shortage of fresh water supply in the coming 20 years time.
China, India and South Africa and Middle East countries may among the most adversely affected countries.

Desalination of sea water can be done either via distillation or membrane process.
Both process requires large amount of energy and thus costly, which means desalination remains an expensive option for providing reliable fresh water supply, restricted to only economically well-off countries.
