Water

inadequacy has always been a world- wide issue since a very long time, and it is significant to take required measures to mitigate the intensity of the

water

famine. It is caused because over usage ad wastage of

water

.

This

easement will explain about different problems caused by the

water

shortage and the solutions for the same. According to the global economic forum,

water

scarcity is an essential issue which should be taken into consideration, the problems caused by it are on a very humongous rate.

Water

inadequacy is caused because of the mismatch of the demand and the supply of fresh

water

to consume. As the population of a world increases the demand for the fresh

water

would increase and non-availability of the fresh

water

would lead to serious health hazards.

, it would affect the agricultural system, as fresh

water

is used for farming and cultivating the crops, scarcity would lead to crop fails. Another effect of scarcity would be draughts. According to a study, draughts have been reported to be one of his reasons for deaths in a country. In India, at least, 5 percent of the population of Rajasthan dies because of draughts. How can we resolve the issue? We have a plethora of initiatives to be taken in decreasing the intensity of the fresh

water

Then

comes, strategies to be taken by the governments to preserve the

water

by introducing different schemes for collecting the fresh and useable

water

, and by constructing dams or other reservoirs. At an individual level, we can perform rainwater harvesting for collecting the

water

and treating the

water

accordingly

to reuse it later and we should

also

check upon the

water

usage and wastage level. By following small measures and solution we have preserved and use the

water

. To conclude,

water shortage

Suggestion

a water shortage

has become one of the biggest problems in the world and we need to preserve and save it by initiating minimal strategies. And we need to protect the resources on the planet.
