Water is an essential element which all living organisms need in order to survive. Malta’s climate is hot, with dry summers and low levels of rainfall. In fact, throughout the years Malta has seen an increase in temperatures and a decrease in rainfall. The growth in the Maltese population, tourism, as well as global warming are putting the water supply under strain. The water table also has a limited supply of water, which needs time to replenish. Climate change does not only impact human health but also disrupts agriculture and affects food availability as well as its quality. Higher temperatures will increase drought, thus resulting in a higher demand for water. Have you ever stopped to wonder how climate change is affecting the economy, the increase in food prices and the water table? Are you contributing towards the conservation of water?
