1. Water shortages
Poor farming practices, deforestation, and pollution are major causes of water resource depletion due to contamination, wastage, and the destruction of natural water catchment areas. As of today, approximately one billion people lack access to clean water because of the effects of deforestation and contamination of water sources and groundwater. Water shortage further contribute to famine and food insecurity.
2. Oil depletion
Oil is a non-renewable resource that accounts for approximately 40 percent of the total energy used globally. Research by EIA’s International Energy Outlook in the year 2013 had shown that due to the high rate of oil exploitation, the amount of oil remaining would last for only 25 years.
Oil is an essential commodity in manufacturing, planting, mining, and transportation among many activities, and its depletion would be devastating. The adverse effects of oil depletion include fall of business, high cost of living in developing countries, and uncertainty in the transport sector.
