Abstract
Because of the seriousness of water scarcity, a significant majority, approximately 66%, of the world's population faces at least one month of water scarcity each year, with projections indicating migration of millions due to water stress by 2030. Mitigation strategies are explored, including the construction of village ponds, bioswales and rainwater harvesting. Furthermore, innovative techniques in aquaculture are discussed, such as integrating diverse species, adopting efficient practices and implementing water recycling systems. The role of technology in smart water management and water recycling is emphasized. Desalination and atmospheric water generators are identified as potential solutions. The article highlights the urgent need for collaborative efforts to combat water scarcity and adapt to changing climate conditions.
