Key trends on population that need verification
Most developed countries have slowing population growth that is dropping below replacement rate in some countries
Legal immigration may help countries that want to maintain their population size
Many less developed countries have high population growth rates ( though those rates are slowing somewhat ) that contribute to increasing poverty, human rights abuses, health issues in those countries
Some countries have policies to manage population growth and some clearly don't

UN-water-news.yahoo.com-Humanity has broken the water cycle UN chief warns.pdf file
The future of humanity's "lifeblood" -- water -- is under threat worldwide, the UN secretary-general warned Wednesday at the opening of the global body's first major meeting on water resources in nearly half a century.
"We've broken the water cycle, destroyed ecosystems and contaminated groundwater," Antonio Guterres said at the three-day summit in New York, which gathers some 6,500 participants including a dozen heads of state and government.
"We are draining humanity's lifeblood through vampiric overconsumption and unsustainable use, and evaporating it through global heating," Guterres told the conference.
A report by UN-Water and UNESCO released Tuesday warned of too little or too much water in some places, and contaminated water in others -- conditions it said highlight the imminent risk of a global water crisis.
"If nothing is done... it will keep on being between 40 percent and 50 percent of the population of the world that does not have access to sanitation and roughly 20-25 percent of the world will not have access to safe water supply," report lead author Richard Connor told AFP.
With the global population increasing every day, "in absolute numbers, there'll be more and more people that don't have access to these services," he said.

UN-water-unesco.org-Groundwater making the invisible visible.pdf file
Groundwater accounts for 99% of liquid freshwater on Earth and is the source of one quarter of all the water used by humans. Large volumes of fresh groundwater are present below ground surface and distributed over the entire globe; however, this volume of freshwater is irregularly distributed over the continents.
An easy and open access resource to numerous people, leading to common pool characteristics, groundwater offers tremendous opportunities to society for gaining social, economic and environmental benefits and its contribution to satisfying our demand for water is considerable.
