Heya Mate.......

Here is your answer...........


Overpopulation: Water scarcity may be an outcome of a large and growing population which results in greater demand for water and unequal access to it.

Commercialisation of agriculture: After the success of the Green Revolution farmers are producing commercial crops. The commercial crops need more water for irrigation.

Urbanisation: 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.

One of the largest causes of water scarcity across the world is pollution. Pollution can come in many forms, and almost always makes the water unfit for human consumption. A chemical or oil spill can permanently taint the water. Any industrial wasteor fecal matter that is dumped into rivers or oceans without proper treatment pollutes the water. Pesticides and other fertilizer use by farmers can also lead to water pollution if the chemicals seep into the groundwater or in underground aquifers.

The misuse of water resources is another massive issue that leads to water scarcity. Inadequate management of resources or over zealous water usage often leads to problems in the future once the water begins to run out. Much of the Middle East has turned to desert due to the overuse of water, which has taken a particular toll on nations like Iran. According to the Guardian, the United Arab Emirates has further invested in desalination and water treatment plants in order to keep up with the demand for fresh water. With an ever-growing global population, the strain on the world’s water resources only keeps looming larger each day.
