Brussels: Europe and the Arabs

The United Nations World Water Conference will be held in New York from March 22 to 24, according to what the international organization announced and added on its website that water is the deal maker for the sustainable development goals, and for the health and prosperity of people and the planet. But our progress on water-related goals and targets remains off track, putting the entire sustainable development agenda at risk.
Commenting on this matter, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, "The United Nations Water Conference 2023 in March must result in a bold water agenda that gives the lifeline to our world the commitment it deserves."
With the increase in the world's population and the exacerbation of climate change and rising temperatures, the level of fresh water is also declining, which exacerbates the problem of water scarcity and threatens future wars. Is it possible to remedy the matter and find solutions and remove the specter of water wars?
Earlier this year, US Vice President Kamala Harris said, "For years, we've fought for oil, but in a short time, we'll be fighting for water."

Water covers more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface, but this does not mean that drinking water is abundant. Only 2.5 percent of the water on Earth is safe to drink, which is a matter of concern. And when we talk about our limited water resources, fresh water makes up only 3 percent of the water on Earth. Glaciers and frozen rivers make up most of the fresh water resources, leaving less than one percent of what is available that can be used for drinking and farming.
As the Earth's population increases, the world needs more water sources to farm and feed millions around the world. What exacerbated the difficulty of the crisis is the increasing pollution of the quantities of water available to humans, whether through fertilizers, industrial pollution, or even excessive water use, which causes a decrease in the aquifer water in crowded cities.
All of these things may eventually push humans into wars over access to potable water, which seems to be diminishing. Even if the bad weather conditions caused by climate change are dealt with, the situation is still frightening.
