What a thought provoking ...

What a thought provoking question! Scarce has a lot of definitions. E.g. Namibia is not reckoned as a water scarce country - why? It has 3 major rivers at its borders and less than 2 million people. That means the per capita water availability is well within affluence even! The fact however is that between the rivers from north to south there is no surface water at all - a distance of 1 500 kilometres of desert and semi desert. Water is definitely being misused, polluted etc.
