Answer:
3/4 of the earth's surface is covered with water there is still a scarcity of water across the globe. this is because:
Around 97% of total water is in oceans which is salty and not fit for human consumption.
Out of the remaining 3% freshwater, only 1% is available to us in form of rivers, lakes, and streams.
Overexploitation of water resources and discharge of sewage and wastes into the water has further led to the scarcity of water resources.
