Second Thermal and Fluids Engineering Conference April 2017, Las Vegas, USA
The 21st century will be defined by the convergence of two factors: a rapidly changing climate and a population explosion. To feed the 9 billion people who will inhabit this planet by 2050 the World Economic Forum has estimated 50-60% more food needs to be produced by 2030 and that energy production will require 80 percent more water than it consumes today. Increased agricultural and energy demands increase the demands for water globally.
