Through #XPRIZEWaterScarcity, we aim to tackle this pressing challenge. XPRIZE Water Scarcity is a 5-year, $119M global competition that is helping to make clean water accessible to all. Here are some things you should know about the global water crisis: 💧 Four billion people are currently living in water-scarce areas 💧 By 2030, global water demand will outstrip supply by 40% 💧 Over 2.4 billion people live in water-stressed countries, while water stress already affects every continent Join us in our mission to revolutionize desalination.
