According to a report by the World Economic Forum (WEF), 47% of the world’s countries might experience a water shortage by 2030. 

It may be difficult to grasp this issue given water’s pervasiveness, but a breakdown of how much it's needed for agricultural and domestic purposes makes the issue much clearer. According to the WEF, it takes 214 liters of water to produce 1 kilogram of tomatoes, 2,500 liters for a kilogram of rice, 3,180 liters for a kilogram of cheese and 15,400 liters for a kilogram of beef. 

Add to this that global water usage has increased by a factor of six in the past century and that only 2.5% of the water on Earth is fresh.

Energy and Water Development Corp. (OTCQB:EAWD) says it is on a mission to combat this issue by standardizing environmentally friendly and sustainable methods of producing water and energy. 

Bites By Numbers

Through these initiatives, EAWD joins corporate giants like First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) and Clearway Energy Inc. (NYSE:CWEN) in the pursuit of creating a greener and more sustainable planet.
