KWESTIA DEFICYTU ZASOBÓW WODNYCH NA ŚWIECIE
QUESTIONS OF THE SHORTAGE OF WATER RESOURCES IN THE WORLD

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a hydrological cycle that takes place in nature and addresses the concept of water resources and the methods of their measurement as well as the shortage of water resources and conditions by the continents and regions, pointing out the difficult situation in Northern Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. Further, it presents an investigation of the correlation between the volume of GDP and the particular features of water management within the continents. The results of calculations show differences, yet there is a clear correlation between the number of population, the water consumption and other indexes of water management. This made it possible to formulate the corresponding proposal for a deficit of water resources in the world economy.
