*************************************************************************
The world may have crossed a dangerous threshold in its water crisis, warns a new report by the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH), introducing a stark new term—“water bankruptcy.” Unlike phrases such as water stress or water scarcity, the report argues that global water systems have now entered a phase where long-term overuse far exceeds natural replenishment, making recovery unrealistic. The findings highlight alarming trends including the loss of nearly 410 million hectares of wetlands, shrinking rivers and lakes, severe groundwater depletion across 70% of major aquifers, rising “day zero” water crises in cities, and the disappearance of over 30% of global glacier mass since 1970 due to climate change. With impacts visible across every inhabited continent, experts warn that water scarcity is no longer a future threat but a present-day global emergency that could affect billions.
