The explosive multiplication of human has exerted a huge pressure on the natural resources on earth including the water, forest and wildlife. In return, he pushed all these natural resources on verge of extinction. But the human life is completely depending on these natural resource in many ways and without these resources, the human life could not be even imagine. Now the question arise here. What will vanish out first from the earth either Water or Human...???
Please contribute your views and relevant literature. Regards Dr. Shankhwar
Neither, because the pressure from humans is only local. Compared with the size of the earth, the human population is minuscule. There are many trillions more animals
Hi Dr. Shankhwar
It's vague to answer which one gone first between water and human since water represents the liquid states on earth which form about 70% of the earth's surface. Also, water can be recreated through the endless cycle.
But if we talk about fresh and safe use water compare to humans, with the excessive pressures from both natural and manmade, freshwater will finish first.
Let take a look at the reference from the Dublin principle in 1992 about water:
So, as a finite and vulnerable resource, it's obviously seen to be more concerned than a human who can find a better way to protect themselves while the freshwater can not.
