How Water Scarcity Triggers the Refugee Crisis - and what Tech can do to Solve it
Every year, thousands of people are forced to leave their homes due to climate-related constraints on drinking water and food production.

Maxim Pasik suggests in this article by the
WEF Global Agenda on Water and Migration that trail-blazing technologies can create a source of fresh, clean drinking water for vulnerable citizens. Cost-effective wastewater treatment solutions can help, and new air conditioning and dehumidifier technology can draw pure drinking water from the atmosphere.
