Are water shortages being engineered as a depopulation weapon?

Since 1970, worldwide water consumption has doubled, yet 1.3 billion people still don’t have access to clean water. The scarcity of clean water leaves hundreds of millions of people at risk of contracting deadly disease every year. Approximately 2.2 million people die annually from diseases related to contaminated drinking water and poor sanitation. There’s no vaccine that can solve this crisis: Only clean water, proper sanitation, and nutrition can prevent these deadly diseases and save lives. A shortage of clean water has a direct impact on the health of a population and their survival. Northern Africa, India, and the Middle East suffer the most. Some of the world’s largest cities are also facing water stress, including Sau Paulo, Bangalore, Beijing, Cairo, Mexico City, Moscow, and Miami. The infrastructure and distribution of clean water  ultimately controls population health and growth. The corporations and governments that control water sources ultimately have power over the survival of the population. It is easy to engineer a water shortage in order to control the behaviors of people and affect the population of a region. In geopolitical conflicts, water can be used as the ultimate bargaining chip. By 2030, the United Nations predicts that global demand for clean water will outpace supply by 40 percent! Because 70 percent of the world’s precious water supply is used for agricultural purposes, any water shortage will also lead to food shortages. For some multinational corporations, this presents an opportunity to transform the region’s agriculture by selling drought-resistant, genetically modified seeds. In essence, water shortages are a business opportunity for seed developers. (Read more)
