Answers
water scarcity.
little much affected by surplus water
Answer:
Inadequate access to safe drinking water for about 885 million people. Groundwater overdrafting (excessive use) leading to diminished agricultural yields. Overuse and pollution of water resources harming ecosystems and biodiversity. Regional conflicts over scarce water resources sometimes resulting in warfare
Water in the soil supplies plants and animals, but acts also to transport nutrients and other important substances from the soil to plants, microbes etc. ... Also, less water will run off the surface, eroding the soil, and washing away nutrients.
When rainfall is low, there is less water available. When temperatures are high, water evaporates and so there is less available to use. Water surpluses are common where rainfall is high and temperatures are lower. Geology – rainfall flows down to the rocks beneath the ground.
In economics, scarcity refers to resources that a limited in quantity. There are three causes of scarcity – demand-induced, supply-induced, and structural
