1)Causes of water scarcity are aplenty. However, we must first understand the term water scarcity.

Water scarcity refers to the situation where the potable, unpolluted water is lower than the demand in a region.

According to recent reports, nearly 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water. Furthermore, water shortages can cause a variety of illnesses which can range from food poisoning to cholera.

Typically, water scarcity is driven by two important factors – which is the increasing use of freshwater and depletion of usable freshwater resources. Furthermore, the scarcity can be of two types – physical water scarcity and economic water scarcity. Physical water scarcity is caused when a natural water resource is unable to meet the demands of a particular region. Economic water scarcity is caused by the mismanagement of sufficiently available water resource. However, there are a lot more causes of water shortage:

2) The effects of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species. And degraded lands are also often less able to hold onto water, which can worsen flooding.
