Lack of fresh water is becoming a global issue of increasing importance. What problem does this shortage cause? what measures could be taken to overcome these problems?

In many areas around the world, people do not have access to clean

water

.

This

issue becomes more significant and many measures are needed to solve it. In

this

essay, the negative outcomes and possible solutions will be discussed. There are several negative effects of

water

shortage and one of them is diseases.

Water

is an important element of life,

thus

without freshwater, people may get serious illnesses.

For example

, in some areas where the problem occurs, people may have to drink unfiltered

water

and it will make them sick.

Moreover

,

this

may

also

affect agriculture, which usually needs a large amount of

water

to grow crops.

Therefore

, the reduction of

water

supply will cause a lack of food. It seems that solutions to

this

problem need to be conducted globally. A short-term solution is making stricter rules on

water

usage.

For example

, in Australia, the authority makes policies to cut

water

for showering in five minutes to control

water

usage.

However

, education should be a long-term solution for

this

because the more awareness of the issue, the more people start to reduce their consumption.

For instance

, people may be educated about how to reduce their bills by applying different methods. With all of the methods, it might help to increase the freshwater resources in both the near and far future. To conclude,

water

shortage may cause serious problems.

However

,

although

there are many solutions to

this

, it is clear that they are not easy to implement. Governments need to put stricter policies and

also

educate people to save resources.
