    2002-9 September World Transformed THIRSTY HUMANS National Geographic Map WATER
    Water, Water, but is it safe to drink? One-third of the world's population live where there is not sufficient water to meet demand. More than a billion people live where they even lack access to clean drinking water. And, its getting worse! One side contains a world map illustrating the effects that humans have had on our planet. Map insets indicate Oceans at Risk, Air Pollution, Invasive Species, Vulnerable Soils, Lost Forests, Energy Usage, and a Warming Climate. The reverse-side, titled "A Thirsty Planet," shows the effect of human use of water, with insets showing some of the areas with the greatest loss of accessible fresh water.
    Map measures approximately 20” x 32”.
