Water shortage
A water shotage happens when an area does not have enough water to meet the deeds of people who live there. Too much demand is one cause of a shortage.
Below are the most common reasons for increasing demand.
?More people—The world’s population is increasing. Towns and cities are growing quickly in places where there is not a lot of water.
?More farming—In many parts of the world there is not enough rain for crops. If farmers strt growing more cropes, they need a lot more water. It takes at least ,000 liters of water to grow the food needed by one person for one day.
?More money—When areas get richer, the way that people live often changes. They are likely to use a lot more water in their homes for things like dishwashes and lawn sprinklers. In developed countries there are also more factories using water. This is not a bad thing, but it can be a problem if there is not an enough supply of water.
