9. London

Of all the cities in the world, London is not the first that springs to mind when one thinks of water shortages.

Facebook tool can judge whether you are middle class

Facebook has found a way to determine a users' social class, using a method which proves to be far more sophisticated than a perusal of the members signed up to its Avocado Appreciation Society page.

The social network has plans to train its artificially intelligent algorithms to predict whether someone is "working class", "middle class" or "upper class" dependent on a variety of factors, according to patent filing published in February.

These factors include the amount of devices a person has signed into the social network on - with more devices suggesting greater wealth. Others include a person's location, their level of education and their travel history.

It is unclear whether Facebook is actively using the class prediction tool currently but it is transparent about how it groups its two billion users into demographics for targeted advertising.
