Case 2: Danfoss <strong>AquaZ</strong> – <strong>Danish</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Forum</strong><br />
Driver of Opportunity: Potable <strong>Water</strong> Scarcity<br />
Facts on water:<br />
• Covers ¾ of the Earth’s surface!<br />
• 3% is potable!<br />
• 25% of population have no access<br />
to satisfactory quality/quantity!<br />
• > 80 countries with severe water<br />
problems!<br />
• Worldwide drought and desertification will sharpen scarcity.<br />
• This is NOT ONLY a 3rd World problem!<br />
• According to the Worldwatch Institute, more than two-thirds of the world’s<br />
population may experience water shortages by 2025, thus affecting practically<br />
every country in the world, including the developed, unless they reduce<br />
demand and/or develop additional water sources.<br />
