Fresh water: There is plenty of water on earth, but the supply of fresh water is limited. With increasing prosperity in the developing countries use of fresh water will increase and strain a limited supply. Just talk to the people in western us and you will find the conflict between farmers in central valley and resident of large southern california cities.
