The main challenge towards water failures is "water resources diversification". Governments or private sector water providers are relying on virtually few sources that are bound to fail in case of emergencies. For example, underground water that tends to dry up in certain seasons, desalination, chlorination which has proven to be environmentally and somehow unhealthy for humans, distillation, reverse osmosis as well. Yet recently, research findings from World Water Assessment Program have reported 13,000km3 of water in the atmosphere, which can for sure offer alternative solutions to water shortage around the water stress area having relative humidity of as low as 30%. Another challenge is lack of an integrative approach to water management systems whereby committing a large part of water resources management and distribution to a private company with little government investment could seemingly attribute to these breakdowns and yet population of the many towns and cities are growing rapidly putting existing on the existing infrastructures that the private entity cannot expand without committed government investments.
