GROWING POPULATION : Growing population is one of the basic factors which is responsible for the scarcityof water. Most of our cities are facing this problem due to overpopulation. A large population means more water not only for domestic use but also to produce more food.
COMMERCIALOSATION OF AGRICULTURE :
After the success of Green Revolution, our farmers are producing commercial crops. The commercial crops need more water and other inputs. Assured means of irrigation like tube wells and walls are responsible for the falling groundwater levels.
INDUSTRIALISATION :
The post independent India witnessed intensive industrialisation and urbanization. The ever increasing number of industries has made matters worse by exerting pressure on the existing freshwater resources. Industries, apart from being heavy users of water, also require power to run them. Much of this energy comes from the hydroelectric power.
URBANIZATION : Urbanisation has also aggravated the problem of water scarcity. Most of our cities are overpopulated. Overpopulation leads to over-utilisation of the water resources, and also pollutes the existing resources.
