Question

Most civilizations began near a source of fresh water. Over time, however, technology has enabled us to move fresh water great distances. In what ways do you think this kind of technology has contributed to the water shortages many people face today?

Answer 1

Maybe because most of the water ends up in 1st world countries that can afford the transportation of water while others might not have the money to pay for it.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

Most civilizations began near sources of fresh water. Technology has enabled fresh water to be moved long distances.

EXPLANATION:

This has resulted in water shortage in many areas. This is because water can now be moved away from its source which leads to drying up of water near the source.

The drying up of fresh water sources means that there is not enough water for everyone. In addition, the movement of water to long distances also results in wastage of water. This means that the water that could be used for different purposes gets wasted and water needs are not fulfilled.
