What is water scarcity? Explain the cause if it? |
| Answer» Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within a region.\tOverpopulation: Water scarcity may be an outcome of a large and growing population which results in greater demand for water and unequal access to it.\tCommercialisation of agriculture: After the success of the Green Revolution farmers are producing commercial crops. The commercial crops need more water for irrigation.\tUrbanisation: Urbanisation is another factor for scarcity of water. Since new lifestyles have developed in the urban cities overexploitation of water continues; there is water scarcity. | |
