Agriculture

Agriculture worldwide is responsible for 67% of water consumption. In the UK it is only 3%, but climbing.

As world population grows to 9.5 billion by 2050, the demand for agricultural goods is predicted to rise by 70%, water consumption will have increased by 53% and water availability will have decreased by 30%.

In the UK 2011 has seen the stark contrast between green water (rainfall) and blue water (abstraction).  The driest and hottest April on record led to huge 'green water' deficit which subsequently stressed 'blue water' resources.

No water = No product! 

 
Of concern will be:

  • Crops requiring irrigation
  • Crops that historically haven't required irrigation
  • Delivering the demand for higher yields
  • Dairy farmers
  • Livestock
