by 2050, about 4.4 billion people of the world's projected 10 billion people will suffer from chronic water shortages

The man made parking lots, roadways and rooftops prevent rainfall from seeping into the soil and becoming life-sustaining groundwater: a source of freshwater that steadily feeds into the streams and rivers, maintaining healthy water levels for days, weeks and months after the initial rainfall. The demands on the freshwater supply for purposes essential to civilized daily life exhaust the water reserves. Such demands include irrigation, hydroelectric/hydrothermal power, flood control and waste water disposal.
