Hard to believe we have a water crisis when 75% of the world is made of water. But there are droughts everywhere. How they are going to make things better when fresh water is very limited?

I didn't feel it. Maybe it wasn't critical as food shortage because as you said the world is made up of mostly water and the ones that has a water problem are away from the bodies of water but no worries because they receiving a help from different countries. Often times we will see celebrities going on those dry places and they are building up a water system.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case, as we all know Africa is a huge continent all surrounded with water, and even places near the water is having trouble for 2 main reasons. One of them is the fact that water is not clean, meaning it could make you sick if you drink it and that means there would be a lot of people dying because they drank water that was bad for your health.

Second reason is that even though there are water sources near them, they can't really walk that much and come back every day, meaning there needs to be infrastructure, I mean not everywhere in EU has water too, but they have pipes bringing water to them, so Africa needs that too. This is just a common thing people don't know about.

I think the problem of water shortage because of climate change and drought could be lessened by different means and not just 'you have to find a water source. For example, Israel's agriculture technology is way ahead of other countries that still follow the traditional method in which any drought decreases the crop yield. Technologies and innovations in the agriculture sector = lower the need for water, less affected by drought.

But of course, to have that technologies and innovations, you will need money which many Africa can't afford. This becomes a cycle where Africa will likely come out worst compare to the others if the lack of water and drought from climate change continue. Countries like EU and US, they've been applied a lot of those technologies to reduce the effect of water/drought.
