Answer 2

Explanation:

• Out of the total water available, most is saline and only less than 3% is non- saline.

• Most of it is in the form of ice and only less is accessible.

• Out of this available water also only 5% is used for domestic purpose and the remaining is used for other puroposes.

• In spite of all this, a large section of population does not have access to the water.

• There are many reasons for this like the depletion in groundwater tables.

• Non- domestic usage is geared up with bore/tubewells and pumps and extracting large amount.

• The poor and destitute do not have an access to water.

• Even the governments do not have any plan to make the reach of safe drining water to one and all.
