우리나라를 '물 부족국가'라고 부르는 것보다
freshwater scarcity stress가 높은 나라라고 부르는 것이 정확한 표현이 되겠네요.

11.1  WILL WE HAVE ENOUGH USABLE WATER?

CONCEPT 11.1A  
We are using available freshwater unsustainably by extracting it faster than nature can replace it,
and by wasting, polluting, and underpricing this irreplaceable natural resource.

CONCEPT 11.1B  
Freshwater supplies are not evenly distributed,
and one of every nine people on the planet does not have adequate access to clean water.

Global Water Stress 

This map shows those parts of the world forecast by the UN to have serious water shortages by 2025.
In many of the areas—namely, in northern Africa and Southwest Asia—water stress is already evident.
Global warming will aggravate the water situation as temperatures increase.
Africa, in particular, will suffer greatly; projections are that fully 75 percent of its population will face water shortages by 2025.
