30% of the World's landmass and 70% of our freshwater withdrawals are already used for food production. With global population on the increase, UNFAO predicts a 70-100% increase in agriculture requirements over the next 20 years.

Globally, we currently use over 70% of freshwater withdrawals for agriculture. By 2030, demand for food is set to increase by 70%. We can't use over 100% of freshwater for food alone: clearly something has to change.

Coal power generation uses around half of the water withdrawals in the USA, and US energy needs are forecast to increase by 40% by 2030. New forms of energy generation can take 10x, or 100x as much water. It doesn't add up!
