Is it correct this sentence?
"Nowadays, many people in different parts of the world have been facing with the fact that water is insufficient to satisfy human needs."
My question is if it is correct to use "nowadays" with "have been facing".
Otherwise, what do you suggest me?

Sentence
Our friends always spend their holidays in Italy. They started going there years ago.
.................................................................................................................. for years.
I have to complete the sentence following this example:
It's raining. The rain started two hours ago.
It'S BEEN RAINING for two hours.
It is an exercise about the present perfect continuous. In the same unit, the grammar book compare it with the present continuous focusing on the differences of use... I am not sure that in this specific case I have to use the present perfect continuous....
