What is Water for Life : Drinking Water, Health, Food, Energy Nexus about?

Water is a precious resource essential for all forms of life. It can be thought of as the blood of the earth. Although there is plenty of water to meet the demand for the present population and even for a projected population of about 9 billion, there is significant spatial and temporal variation in the global distribution of this precious resource. As a result, there are waterrich and water-poor countries with the latter facing water stress and water scarcity which in extreme situations can lead to water-related conflicts and even 'water-wars.' The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified unsafe drinking water as a major killer in the world. The motivation for writing Water for Life: Drinking Water, Health, Food, Energy Nexus is primarily to throw light on the multi-faceted uses and importance of water in life, in particular to highlight the water, health, food, and energy nexus. It is hoped that the contents will help students in civil engineering, geography, and earth and social sciences to perceive the big picture of water management for all human and biotic populations without causing negative effects on the environment.
