English term or phrase: when placed against
This set of regional challenges becomes a fast-approaching global crisis, when placed against future needs for water. As the world economy expands, demand for water will rise and continue to outpace population growth. Unlike energy, water has no substitutes or alternatives. We simply cannot manage water in the future as we have in the past or the economic web will collapse.
