Question

Defenation of water scarcity and depeletion????

Answer 1

Water scarcity or water stress occurs when availability is not enough to match the demand for water. It is caused by increase in population, growing demand for water, and unequal access to it.

Where surface water, such as lakes and rivers, are scarce or inaccessible, groundwater supplies many of the hydrologic needs of people everywhere. Groundwater depletion, a term often defined as long-termwater-level declines caused by sustained groundwater pumping, is a key issue associated with groundwater use.
