New Delhi :

Vice President Hamid Ansari  on Monday said water scarcity was a developing crisis which needed to be addressed urgently. Ansari said desalination would become a major exercise in the not too distant future.

“We are facing a crisis situation. Why should we not look at desalinating water,” said the vice president, while releasing a book – Water, Peace, and War – by geostrategist Brahma Chellaney.

“A message needs to go to every family, every child that water is a scarce commodity which should not be wasted,” said Ansari.
