Answer 2

Water scarcity may be an outcome of large and growing population in India

Explanation:

We need more water to support the needs of a large population. Not only domestic use, the proportionate consumerism increases, so the water requirement of the industries also increase. We need to cultivate more food, so agricultural need for water increases.

An increased population would create more waste water. Also the land area requirement will go up, leading to stress on water bodies. The land would be utilized for other needs by the population and will lead to shrinkage in water area.
