El Agua
Las montañas no son simples reservorios de agua, almacenando agua en forma de glaciares, nieve, humedales, lagos y depósitos subterráneos.
Como proveedoras de agua dulce para más de la mitad de la humanidad, las montañas son de importancia estratégica para la agricultura, la seguridad alimentaria y la biodiversidad.
Se extraen anualmente alrededor de 4000 kilómetros cúbicos de agua dulce–equivalente a aproximadamente 1700 litros por persona y día. Pero el agua para la agricultura es por mucho, la mayor categoría de extracción.
