World running out of water: UN adviser

River

Delhi has “no more rivers to take water from.”

“The Ganges [in India] and the Yellow river [in China] no longer flow. There is so much silting up and water extraction upstream they are pretty stagnant”

The Colorado and Rio Grande rivers in the US no longer reliably flow into the sea because some much water has been used up.

Scary, huh?
