18、alth problems. Lack of water often means drinking waters not safe. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlan

19、ds, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning. The Population Action International study gives several solutions to t

20、he water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water.
