Water shortages are already a serious issue around the world and by 2050 fresh drinking water could be even scarcer.

As lifestyles improve and global populations increase, demand for drinking water is sure to rise. Yet some fresh water sources are being polluted by chemicals from industry or farming or by sea water flooding.

In the Drinking area of the exhibition you will learn about innovative new techniques and technologies for getting safe drinking water to everyone. You can play the fast-paced Future Drink game to discover some of the places we might get more water in 2050. And you can splash around in our virtual pool.
