Rising temperatures are posing a greater threat to clean drinking water than anticipated, as new information reveals there could be a global water crisis on the way. Water stored in reservoirs has a high chance of turning toxic due to elevated temperatures beneath the earth’s surface. The water trapped in the aquifer is blended with pollutants, pathogens, and dissolved minerals, which will prove to be hazardous if heated too much. Amid such a rising crisis, a team of international researchers put together a special heat transport model that tells the user precisely how warm underground water is. "There are already about 30 million people living in regions where the groundwater is warmer than stipulated in the strictest drinking water guidelines…That means it may not be safe to drink the water there without treatment. It may need to be boiled first, for example. The drinking water also gets warmed up in water pipes," said geoscientist Susanne Benz. Recent studies suggest that nearly 590 million people could be suffering by 2100 due to drinking water scarcity.
