Globally, "according to IFPRI this would put at risk approximately $63 trillion of the global economy just 39 years from today. By 2030 global water demand could be 40% more than the current supply. This could change with new agricultural practices, policy changes, and intelligently applied new technologies."
"Otherwise conflicts over trade-offs among agricultural, urban, and ecological uses of water are likely to increase, along with the potential for mass migrations and wars. Although water related conflicts are already taking place, water-sharing agreements have been reached even among people in conflict and have led to cooperation in other areas."
Locally, the Bangsamoro homeland has been associated with water basins and the seas culturally, historically and geographically. Many Moro ethnicities are culturally associated with water. The Tausugs are called "people of the current", the Meranaws "people of the lake", the Maguindanaws "people of the flood plains", the Badjaws "sea gypsies", the Samas as "coastal and sea dwellers" and the Iranuns and Bangingis as "navies" and "sea traders" of old empires.
Historically, the Sulu sultanate for four centuries was a maritime power; Maguindanao and Buayan wrestling over the Liguwasan Marsh, the Moro Gulf and the Sulawesi Sea; the Pat-a-pangampong lording it over the Lake Lanao Region.
The Moro culture and history are partly (and significantly) defined by the region's geography. Aside from armed conflict, natural calamities brought about by rising river and sea water continue to devastate and in a number of instances have threaten the very existence of human habitation. For many communities, water is scarce and in times of drought, expensive than sodas. As island communities are greatly affected by scarce source and supply; mainland communities are threatened and displaced by flooding. What are then other specific water issues in Moroland? What forestall and hasten these issues (contributing factors)? Where are these water issues more prevalent and of imminent concern?
How is the water issue connected with other global challenges manifested in the Moroland? How do we mitigate water issues in the short-term? How do we sustainably response to these issues in the long-term? How do we mobilize communities and institutions to respond to water's evolutionary (unpredictable) and developmental (predictable) challenges?
