Global warming spells out water shortage

A third of the world’s population lives in countries that find it difficult or impossible to meet water needs, a proportion that could double by 2025, said RajendraK. Pachauri, chairman of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Wednesday.

    In developing countries, about 14,000 to 30,000 people die each day in developing countries from water-related diseases, Pachauri said at a conference of the IPCC Working Group I for the Fourth Assessment Report held in Beijing, which will end on Thursday
