Water scarcity, both natural and of human origin, is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands within a region. Water is unequally distributed over time and space. Much of it is wasted, polluted and unsustainably managed.
There is no global water scarcity as such, but a number of places and regions are chronically short of water because its use at the global level has increased more than twice as fast as the population over the last century.
Water scarcity Causes
1. Hunger, poverty and education.
Apart from dehydration due to the obvious lack of drinking water, hunger is one the most serious effect of water scarcity. Why? Water shortages have a direct impact on crops and livestock, which can lead to food shortages and eventually starvation. As well, because of water shortages some people cannot shower, wash their clothes or clean their homes properly.
2.Sanitation issues and diseases.
Water scarcity generates sanitation problems by forcing people to drink unsafe water. In fact, when water is scarce people tend to store it at home, which increases the risk of domestic water contamination and creates breeding grounds for mosquitoes, which transmit dengue and malaria.
Lack of water cause other diseases such as trachoma (an eye infection that can cause blindness), plague and typhus.
3. Conflicts.
Having access to water has become a powerful global economic issue that could become one of the main causes of international tension. Local conflicts - sometimes resulting in warfare - are triggered over scarce water resources. With the burgeoning global population and growing needs, these tensions could multiply in the future.
4. Biodiversity loss.
Water scarcity has different negative impacts on rivers, lakes, and other freshwater resources. It harms the environment in several ways including increased salinity, nutrient pollution, and the loss of floodplains and wetlands. Ecosystems and biodiversity (e.g. freshwater fish) are threatened by the scarcity of water resources.
Something happened to me and I remember it to this day.I was walking in the Park with my dog when I noticed a very sophisticated woman walking near a man.I thought they knew each other.But the woman started to say something to his eyes,and noticed that she was going to take his wallet carefully from his bag.And then I realized that she really wanted to steal his wallet.
Just then,I saw that other people didn't notice it,when suddenly,I approached this woman and asked her to return his wallet,but she pretended that she didn't take his wallet,and tried to run away.Suddenly, the man checked his backpack and found no wallet.Other people also began to notice and refute the woman so that she would return the wallet voluntarily.But she started screaming and almost started crying.I later called the police because she didn't want to give the wallet to the man.
At least,the police came and she returned the man's wallet.He thanked me that if he hadn't noticed it,he would have been out of money.Soon this woman was fined and she admitted her mistake.Such a life, the truth is always turned back, so you can not steal and lie because the situation will be even worse.Be honest, guys.
