Shortage of water for a sustained period is called water scarcity.
The main causes of water scarcity are as follows:-
(i) Overpopulation: Water scarcity may be an outcome of a large and growing population which results in greater demand for water and unequal access to it.
(ii) Commercialisation of agriculture: After the success of the Green Revolution farmers are producing commercial crops. The commercial crops need more water for irrigation.
(iii) Urbanisation: Urbanisation is another factor for scarcity of water. Since new lifestyles have developed in the urban cities overexploitation of water continues; there is water scarcity.
