Though 3/4th of the Earth's surface is covered with water, only 0.8 of fresh water is available to us in the form of ground water and surface water. This water gets contaminated by various ways. Also, due to reduced rainfall the water table also decreases. This has resulted in the scarcity of water.
hope it will help you!!
