This report charts some of the local issues involved and makes the case for a local-level view of the global challenge. What is that challenge? Water is not an abundant resource. Three-quarters of global freshwater is trapped in ice sheets and glaciers; less than 1% flows freely on the surface; and some 20% is stored underground. In most parts of the world, distribution of flows and available sub-surface water is highly uneven. With these figures come concerns about scarcity. The global community is fixated by per capita availability on which it determines simple figures for scarcity.}
