The Weekend Brief offers analysis and insights on one big news item of the week, delivered only to Quartz members.
Day after day, the world’s freshwater supply is drying up — and hydrating over eight billion people with less than 1% of the world’s water total supply is proving to be extremely difficult.
Water demand has risen by 40% over the past 40 years, and since 1970 the supply has been cut in half.
To make matters worse, infrastructure such as dams, pipes, and water treatment facilities are in poor condition — and only getting worse.
The Weekend Brief dives into the world’s freshwater infrastructure, explores possible ways to resolve the crisis, and how this can be profitable for you.
