Water crisis far outstrips energy crisis

"We are considered the water castle of Europe, but we are becoming less so every year," says Anna Brand, the designated new President of the Zerowaterloss Foundation in Bern. On the occasion of UN World Water Day on 22 March, she is calling on Swiss businesses and politicians to tackle water-saving programs early on, "because the coming water shortage will far exceed the negative consequences of the energy crisis in Switzerland and worldwide." Under the motto "Accelerating change", the UN is warning against excessive water consumption on World Water Day 2023. The Bern-based Zerowaterloss Foundation was set up by the Swiss industrialist family of Jürg Brand to ensure that unnecessary water consumption and water waste are recognized early on as a serious risk to society. It supports the UN's message as well as research projects and events designed to help tackle this new global crisis with innovative water management. Anna Brand says: "Access to sufficient water is a human right. Today, drinking water is being wasted in Switzerland and around the world because it is far too cheap for many uses and, on the other hand, hardly affordable for many people as survival water." The foundation, which she will lead as the new President-designate, is therefore calling on people to "understand the value of water, because a water crisis becomes a human crisis."
