Kodak SONORA Plates to Save an Estimated 265 Million Liters of Water in Next 12 Months
Despite estimates that only one percent of the world's water is suitable for drinking, industry and agriculture, water scarcity has long been considered a problem relegated only to specific locales where climate or geography limit access to clean water. However, it's now predicted that even water-rich nations such as the United States could see a water scarcity crisis in 30 percent of its cities in the next four years, and Brazil, the world's most water-rich nation, faces water supply deficits of more than 80 percent. Both an increase in demand from growing populations and a lagging water treatment infrastructure in emerging economies contribute to the spread of this global issue beyond traditionally water-starved nations. Water conservation has become a priority that every industry needs to address.
