TM Anuj started his speech by saying that our Earth’s surface is covered with 70% of water. Out of this 70%, only 3% of the water is available for human use.

Otherwise the scarcity will start in developing countries, which will be more affected by water scarcity. He concluded saying that fruits, vegetables and all other crops will fail to grow because of water scarcity and humans will die inadequate availability of fresh water.
