Challenge of Water Shortage in the World and Azerbaijan and Scientific Practical Solution
Journal Title: Modern Approaches in Oceanography and Petrochemical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
The rapid growth in world population and limitation of soil and water resources have caused major problem for human nutrition security in the world. Only 3% of water resources are fresh water. Accoding to the FAO report, if in the any country Amount of fresh water is less than 1700m3 per capita, this country is faced to serous water shortage. At the present, in the 22 countries share of fresh water per capita is less than 100m3 and in the 18 countries is more than 2000m3. Therefore, Azerbaijan is one of the countries which have faced serous water shortage. The rapid growth in world population and limitation of soil and water resources have caused major problem for human nutrition security. Some 40% of the world’s land surface is used for the purposes of keeping all 7 billion of us fed. And the vast majority of that land about 30% of the word’s total ice free surface is used not to raise agriculture productions. Water is the driving force of all nature. The annual renewable water of this country is 7-9 milliard m3. Increasing population on the one hand and limitation of water and soil resources on the other hand is major challenge for Azerbaijan. More than 60% or 5.4 milliard m3water resources are used by agriculture sector. Refer to Government program in the 2007, the annual agricultural production has been 6521788 MT. In fact 0.73kg agricultural production is produced per one cubic meter water. For providing food security, it must be increased to 1 Kg/m3 in 2025 and 1.5Kg/m3in 2050 by using scientific method such as modern irrigation systems and agro technology.
