Water scarcity is caused by poor management of available water resources and the depletion of fresh water resources. Most countries have sufficient water to meet agricultural, household and industrial needs but do not have the means to make clean usable water accessible.

Other causes of water scarcity include overuse of water, pollution, population growth, decreased rainfall, increased consumption of water, global warming, food production, climate change, water quality and land use. Population growth has led to the increased use of freshwater, resulting in the depletion of freshwater resources such as groundwater.

Overuse of water harms the environment, as it leads to increased nutrient pollution, salinity, and loss of wetlands and floodplains.
