Total water = (2000 L / day) * (365 days/ year) * 3.359 billion = 2,452,070 billion liters / year Total energy = (2,452,070 * 10^9 L / year) * (KWH / L) = (2,452,070 * 10^9 * KWH) / (365*24 hours) = 279.9 * 10^12 W = 279.9 TW Solution 2

After projecting the irrigated area per thousand people, we get 42.47 hectares in 2025 and 39.94 hectares in 2050. Therefore, the land productivity should be increased 9.6% in 2025 and 15.02% in 2050. Solution 3

Increase in world population in billions
Annual increase in world population
Though there were fluctuations in the early years, later on the birth rates outnumbered the death rates. Much of the mortality decline occurred due to modern changes in medical
technology and treatment. Declining death rates in combination with continuing high birthrates triggered the rapid growth of the population. At some period birth rates decreased due to decline in fertility rates. There was a stable population growth almost for a decade from 1994 to 2004 which is due to dramatic changes in economic and social conditions, ideas about the family and the role of children and women, the availability of family planning programs, and the acceptance and use of contraception. The decrease in population in 2004-05 is due to the natural calamities like tsunami and floods around the world. Solution 6 Total world population = 6,801,100,000 Population of OECD countries (USA, Canada, Europe, Japan) = 1,200,094, 389 Population of developing countries = 5,601,005,611 Per capita of developed world = 0.176 Per capita of developing world = 0.823 Number of Deaths / people in developed world = 13.4 * 10^6 / 1,200,094,389 = 0.011 = 11 deaths per 1000 people Number of Deaths / people in developing world = 43.5 * 10^6 / 5,601,005,611 = 0.007 = 7 deaths per 1000 people Solution 7 Plot showing AIDS deaths, HIV cases and annual change of both cases 100.0 90.0 80.0 70.0
