"They' being China and India. And it's water that is a major problem for them.
China has 660 cities. Of these only 150 have adequate water supplies. To meet the demand underground aquifers are being depleted.
India's reservoirs are not maintained properly. Overfarming and excess logging increase the number of floods which destroy irrigation systems. Underground aquifers are not being replenished.
Will water join oil as a declining resource?
