| Editorial viewpoint
On one hand, world population is increasing rapidly, and half the population is half-fed due to dearth of water and food. If the population keeps increasing like this, then it would not be surprising if it leads to anarchy for getting water and food. Solutions should be found regarding this before such a situation arises. |
