Experts have had their say, now it’s your turn.

• Education/Awareness.
• New Conservation Technologies.
• Recycle Wastewater.
• Improve Irrigation and Agriculture Water Use.
• Water Pricing.
• Energy Efficient Desal Plants.
• Rain Water Harvesting.
• Community Governance and Partnerships.

Here are some of the ways we can make a difference:

1. Increase awareness and education about water scarcity.
2. Invest in innovative technologies.
3. Make agricultural irrigation more efficient.
4. Improve water infrastructure.
5. Reduce water pollution.
6. Encourage water conservation.

In many countries, governments play a vital role in supplying, treating, monitoring, and distributing water to its citizens.

Rainwater harvesting has been used to help solve this problem but current systems can have water quality issues. NEWAH is a non-governmental organisation that promotes hygiene and sanitation and is working towards clean drinking water for all.

As a result, Nepal faces a high number of water-borne diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid, gastroenteritis and cholera. Starting with the dry season in the month of March to the end of the rainy season in September, one is extremely vulnerable to waterborne illnesses.

Millions of people die each year from water-borne sicknesses like cholera, typhoid fever, and diarrheal diseases. The problem is at its most acute across swaths of Africa, the Middle East, and large parts of Asia.

Global hunger creates a cycle that people can’t escape from. It causes individuals to be less productive and more prone to disease, which in turn makes them less able to improve their livelihoods or earn a better income.

A world with zero hunger can positively impact our economies, health, education, equal- ity and social develop- ment. Additionally, with hunger limiting human development, we will not be able to achieve the other sustain- able development goals such as education, health and gender equality.

If we see that there is more than enough food for everyone, that ending hunger would be easy, that it would be joyful, that it would allow hundreds of millions of people to become productive partners with us, that the lives of all of us would be enhanced immeasurably if 35,000 people per day were not dying of hunger.

A world with zero hunger can positively impact our economies, health, education, equality and social development. It’s a key piece of build- ing a better future for everyone.

The reasons are complex and varied, and often interconnected.

• Poverty. Poverty is the main cause of hunger in the world.
• Job Instability.
• Food Shortages and Waste.
• Poor infrastructure.
• Unstable Markets.
• Climate Change.
• War and Conflict.
• Nutritional Quality.

This means that in less developed countries poor people also live in poor food systems. Nutrient-dense foods like eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables can be very expensive in these countries. That makes it harder to diversify away from nutrient-sparse staple foods like rice, corn and bread.

The main cause of hunger worldwide is poverty. Millions of people around the world are simply too poor to be able to buy food. They also lack the resources to grow their own food, such as arable land and the means to harvest, process, and store food.

Hunger and malnutrition are part of an ongoing cycle, as both a cause and effect of many other factors too, like inequality and lack of education. These factors are within our power to change. That’s why hunger is also the world’s most solvable problem.

Poverty: Many people around the world are too poor to either buy food or to access the resources they need to grow, harvest and store their food. This is the primary reason why world hunger is still a problem. People who can’t afford food become undernourished. Then they cannot even work to earn or produce food.

Some of the physical effects of hunger are malnutrition, stunted growth, wasting, babies born prematurely, low birth weights, and in extreme cases infant and child mortalities. Other effects are poor health, physical symptoms such as stomachaches and headaches, signs of worry, anxiety, and behavior problems.

Typical symptoms of true hunger and a need to eat include hunger pangs, stomach growling and dips in blood sugar, marked by low energy, shakiness, headaches and problems focusing, according to Fear.

Each day, 25,000 people, including more than 10,000 children, die from hunger and related causes. Some 854 million people worldwide are estimated to be undernourished, and high food prices may drive another 100 million into poverty and hunger.

In humans, prolonged starvation can cause permanent organ damage and eventually, death. The term inanition refers to the symptoms and effects of starvation. Starvation may also be used as a means of torture or execution.

Loss of appetite The first organ system to “close down” is the digestive system. Digestion is a lot of work! In the last few weeks, there is really no need to process food to build new cells. That energy needs to go elsewhere.

Most people lose their appetite in the last few weeks of life. This is a very natural and normal part of the dying process. The body’s metabolism slows down and the person needs less nutrition. Your instincts may be to try and feed the person to keep up their strength.

The brain is the first organ to begin to break down, and other organs follow suit. Living bacteria in the body, particularly in the bowels, play a major role in this decomposition process, or putrefaction. This decay produces a very potent odor. “Even within a half hour, you can smell death in the room,” he says.

So what do dying people want? In short: truth, touch and time. They want others — family, friends and physicians — to be truthful with them in all respects, whether discussing the disease process, treatment options or personal relationships. They want truth but not at the expense of reassurance and hope.
