throw light on the quantitative aspects of water scarcity
Answers

However, water scarcity in most of the cases is caused due to the excessive use, over exploitation and unequal access to water among different groups of society.
Answer:
explain the quantitative aspect of water scarcity.
Ans. 1. Large growing population:- India is the second largest country of the world in terms
of population. This causes greater demand for water and unequal access of water
resources.
2. Overexploitation of water resources:- To expand irrigated areas and dry season
agriculture farmers have their own well and Tube well to irrigate their fields and increase
their produce. As a result the groundwater level is falling.

have their own ground water pumping devices to meet their water needs and water tables
are falling consistently.
