At the end of the 2015 Academy Award-winning film The Big Short, which explores the origins of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, a caption notes that the Wall Street investor protagonist of the film who predicted the collapse of the United States (US) housing market would now be ‘focused on one commodity: water’. Water is sometimes described in popular culture as ‘the new oil’ or ‘more valuable than gold’. It is predicted to be the subject of increasing uncertainty, competition, conflict, and even war, as increasing demand from a growing human population and development meets reduced supply as a result of poor management, overuse, and climate change.

在 2015 年奥斯卡获奖影片的结尾大空头，在探讨 2008 年全球金融危机的起源时，标题指出，电影中预测美国（美国）房地产市场崩溃的华尔街投资者主角现在将“专注于一种商品：水”。水有时在流行文化中被描述为“新石油”或“比黄金更有价值”。由于管理不善、过度使用和气候变化导致供应减少，随着人口增长和发展的需求增加，预计它将成为不确定性、竞争、冲突甚至战争增加的主题。
