Freshwater Shortage is a Major Problem of Modern Times. /Ts. Basilashvili/ Scientific Reviewed Proceedings of the IHM, GTU. – 2021. – vol.131. – pp.12-16. -Georg.; Abst.: Georg., Eng., Rus
The paper deals with the most important and urgent ecological problem of our times - global shortage of fresh water resources. Their sources and unequal territorial distribution are characterized. The rapid increase in the population and world economy, against the background of global warming, has led to an increase in the scale of use of fresh water resources, which has significantly reduced them. This, in turn, can lead to
declining yields and the economy, instability, wars and cataclysms. In order to preclude the worst scenario, the issue of clean water, its saving and rational use must become a priority in all countries. Tabl. 3, Ref. 8
