Answer:
1. Water shortages may be caused by climate change, such as altered weather patterns including droughts or floods, increased pollution, and increased human demand and overuse of water. A water crisis is a situation where the available potable, unpolluted water within a region is less than that region's demand.
2. Groundwater is not in underground lakes, nor is it water flowing in underground rivers. It is simply water that fills pores or cracks in subsurface rocks. When rain falls or snow melts on the surface of the ground, some water may run off into lower land areas or lakes and streams. What is left may be absorbed by the soil, seep into deeper layers of soil and rock, or evaporate into the atmosphere.
3.Broadly there are two ways of harvesting rainwater, namely; surface runoff harvesting and rooftop rainwater harvesting. Rainwater harvesting is the collection and storage of rain for reuse on-site, rather than allowing it to run off.
4.Drip Irrigation. Drip irrigation systems deliver water directly to a plant's roots, reducing the evaporation that happens with spray watering systems. ...

2) surface water leakage from the soil or flows ASP run off into streams to contaminate groundwater . nitrates and sulfates emitted from plants or can cause acid rain which percolates through the soil and the acidifies the groundwater supplies.
3) there are two types of rainwater harvesting namely firstly surface runoff harvesting and rooftop. rainwater harvesting is the collection of rain for reuse on site rather than allowing it to run off.
4) field should be irrigitate buy without waste of water so you have to set a sprinkler system so you say pipes of steel or PVC aur you can go organic store in water or 8 8th Cross PVC formers polyvinyl chloride.
5) 1_ reduce the amount of Water used by toilets
2_ take shorter showers
