BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – Throughout the ages, man has held water as the most precious natural resource on earth; and rightfully so, since water is the source of all life on this planet and, coincidentally, it is only on earth that one can find this liquid. For such a simple chemical structure, water has led to many complicated challenges with regard to its accessibility. There have been many a battle, conquests and political and social manoeuvrings in an effort to obtain water and ensure its continued availability.
Skip forward to the present and we still have many obstacles with the accessibility of water. Millions of people across the globe don’t have access to clean drinking water and some of those states fortunate enough to have the commodity suffer from shortages and a poor outlook towards becoming a water scarce country.
