Water is at the heart of human survival, economic growth and development.

But, only 1% of the surface water on Earth is accessible and clean drinking water. And one in 10 people struggle to access it. To further that struggle, climate change is exacerbating the global water crisis.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Assistant Professor Edward Park, National Institute of Education, Earth Observatory of Singapore and Asian School of the Environment, NTU shares his insights on how the world's water supplies are evolving and urgent actions needed to mitigate the risk of water running out.
