Answer 1

WATER SCARCITY REFERS TO THE LOW AMOUNT OF WATER...AS WE KNOW EARTH IS 3/4 WATER AND IS APPROPRIATELY KNOWN AS THE WATER PLANET....LIFE BEGAN IN THE PRIMITIVE OCEANS 3.5 BILLION YEARS AGO....EVEN TODAY,2/3 OF EARTH IS COVERED WITH WATER AND 2.7% OF THIS IS SUITABLE FOR HUMAN USE....OUT OF THIS 2.7%,705 IS AVAILABLE AS ICESHEETS,GLACIERS,AND IN MOUNTAINS IN ANTARTICA,GREENLAND ETC.DUE TO THEIR LOCATION,THEY ARE IN ACCESSIBLE AND SO ONLY 1% IS THERE FOR OUR USE-IS AVAILABLE AS GROUNDWATER,SURFACE WATER IN LAKES AND RIVERS...OCEAN WATER IS SALINE AND THUS NOT MADE FOR OUR USE......THOUGH IT CAN BE FILTERED AND USED......THESE DAYS THE POPULATION IS GROWING AND SO ARE THE DEMANDS AND MODERNITY IN EVERYTHING...HUMANS DONT THINK ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT AND START MODIFYING IT ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS.....
