Water scarcity and Human Population (Funny side --- yet true)


Media ,Leaders, Social activist ,NGO  all are talking about the resource scarcity due to population growth and climate change. This is driving us crazy, because we all wonder who is consuming this much resources ... why it is not replenishing. 

In this article, I am trying to link human population against fresh water availability on earth, in a different view and in a different perspective . This may look very funny and very absurd . But it's true !!!! 

Who stole our fresh water resources !!!!!!
Some Assumptions /Facts
Water content in average Human body 60% (medical Finding) 
Average human Weight: 50 Kg   (UN data says  62 Kg, But I presume 50 kg to average)
Average water content in a human: 30 kg (Derived from the above details)
Fresh water content in the world remain constant (matter cannot be made nor destroyed) 

The below graph shows population growth against water carried by the human population on the surface of earth. 



Phew!!!!  This data explains, how and where all the fresh water in the world is disappearing.

By year 2015 end , Seven billion humans population on planet earth is carrying 219 Million tons of fresh water in their body.  

So its like... You stole my water ??
