Water shortage takes place when overuse of water bodies leads to a situation where there is not enough clean water to cater to the rising demand of the population of the country/region.
Effects of Water Shortage
- Lack of access to Clean Drinking Water: People are not able to get clean drinking water because of a lack of water in freshwater bodies.
- Lack of Education: In places where there is water shortage, children tend to get sick by drinking dirty water and can therefore not go to school.
- An increasing number of diseases: As a lack of freshwater, people get numerous diseases from ingesting dirty water available to them.
- Destruction of Life: In cases where there is water shortage, animals and humans tend to die without water or might migrate to other regions.
There is only 5% of the entire water available on Earth that is fit for drinking. Thus, we need to ensure that there is no wastage of water, as water is crucial for all life forms and therefore needs to be utilised wisely.
