Answer:

Water is misused and as a result water resources and even the quality of available water are depleted. Also, the distribution of precipitation has become very irregular and uneven. Climate change is having a serious impact on our water resources. With this situation, it can be estimated that by 2025, two billion people will suffer from an absolute lack of water.

With minimal fresh water available for our daily use and survival, there are about 1.1 billion people who do not get enough water and are already facing scarcity.

Explanation:

  • Water resources keep our ecosystems thriving and draw out even such teeming populations. This has caused pressure on water resources. Water bodies such as rivers, lakes and aquifers dry up or become polluted.
  • Agriculture uses a lot of water, and more is wasted through inappropriate use or inefficiency.
  • Many of the world's wetlands are drying up and this planet is only getting hotter. The distribution of precipitation is also random and uneven. Sooner or later, most of the population will experience severe water shortages.
  • Climate change is causing drought in some areas while some other areas are flooded. If this negative impact continues, by 2025 about two billion people will face total water scarcity. This further disrupts the ecosystem.
