Inequalities in accessing water ressources at global scale Developed countries Developing countries Hard water technology: increase of level of development No appropriate use of technology: decrease of level of development Example: Belridge fields exploitation in California Examples: Rivers, canals, dams,sewage: military targets in Iraq and Syria Conflicts between social actors Example: Between industries and farmers in California, between tourists and locals in Bali

Major concern regarding supply at a global scale due to: Decrease of physical availability (decrease of aquifiers) Decrease of the quality of water (pollution) Decrease of conservation Example: Salinization, water wastes in Goa, India Example: Water waste due to resorts and houses in Las Vegas Example: Shrinking of water ressources to 4% in Sao Paulo, Brazil due to heavy drought and consumption
