Water - and its governance - is becoming a global concern partly because it is turning into a goods in short supply, with devastating effects on literally billions of people, but also because it is the "e;carrier"e; of global warming; whether through irregular weather patterns or through flooding, water is how global warming will be 'felt'.
The globally escalating population necessitates production of more goods and services to fulfil the expanding demands of human beings which resulted in urbanization and industrialization.
