Explanation:

Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. Water scarcity can also be caused by droughts, lack of rainfall, or pollution. This was listed in 2019 by the World Economic Forum as one of the largest global risks in terms of potential impact over the next decade.[1] It is manifested by partial or no satisfaction of expressed demand, economic competition for water quantity or quality, disputes between users, irreversible depletion of groundwater, and negative impacts on the environment.[2] Two-thirds of the global population (4 billion people) live under conditions of severe water scarcity at least 1 month of the year.[3][4][5][6] Half a billion people in the world face severe water scarcity all year round.[3] Half of the world's largest cities experience water scarcity.[5

Reason:-

1) We're Changing the Climate, Making Dry Areas Drier and Precipitation More Variable and Extreme.

2) More People + More Money = More Water Demand.

3) Groundwater Is Being Depleted.

4) Water Infrastructure Is in a Dismal State of Disrepair.

5) And Natural Infrastructure Is Being Ignored.

7) The Price Is Wrong.
