干旱与沙漠化
  • 美国西南部、东南亚、东南美洲、澳洲西部、南欧,以及非洲南部和北部等地,50年内可能会发生无法逆转的干旱(即永久沙漠化)。1(美国国家海洋和大气管理局〔NOAA〕,2009年)
  • 自1970年代到2000年代初,全球土地遭受严重干旱侵袭的比例增加了1倍以上。2(戴爱国博士〔Aiguo Dai〕,2004)
  • 近年来干旱地区的实例:
    • 中国北方地区,10米深的裂缝开始在各地田间出现。水的使用若没有重大改变的话,未来10年内,中国可能会出现数千万的环境难民。3 (2010年9月)

    • 包括伊拉克、中国、乍得、澳洲、蒙古、非洲的萨赫勒地区(Sahel)在内的地方,在2010年都遭受干旱之苦。6,7,8,9,10,11

  • 最近的缺水区域报告:
    • 中东地区的供水已经缩减为1960年的四
