Countries need a new international pact to fix a mounting water crisis that could cut economic growth by at least 8% and put half the world's food supplies at risk by 2050 .

Climate change, destructive land use and chronic mismanagement have put the global water cycle under "unprecedented stress" Densely populated regions like northwestern India , northeastern China and southern and eastern Europe are especially vulnerable to water shortages.

Governments must work together to create incentives to transform how water is consumed and ensure that investment in vital infrastructure reaches the right places.
