TO CONTEND with worsening water woes, experts have launched a new global commission to study the value of the world’s water, and work out ways of ensuring supply.

The work by the Global Commission on the Economics of Water is meant to offer advice on water management worldwide, as climate change and deforestation take an increasing toll on the water and rainfall supplies, co-chairperson Johan Rockstroem said before unveiling the new group at the World Economic Forum this week. | Reuters
