Water Scarcity
One the main causes of water scarcity is climate change and pollution. As the population increases, the demand for water rises. Most the water is used for irrigation and drinking. Pollution caused by factories creates unsafe drinking water. Contaminants such as heavy metals pose severe risks to biodiversity and human health. Irrigation relies on water to support crop production. Challenges in irrigating crops, can lead to food shortages and increased food prices. Agriculture use approximately 70% of global freshwater withdrawals.
