Fresh water has always been a limited resource in some parts of the world. Today, however, growing worldwide demand has made this a global problem. What are the causes of the increased demand, and what measures could governments and individuals take to respond to this problem?

Water

scarcity is an international problem that needs immediate attention. Pure

water

resources are limited and conservation is the immediate step towards preserving them. Due to population explosion and industrialization, scarcity of

this

valuable resource has become a universal problem. I will detail some of the causes and measures that are required to protect it. There are many reasons for its shortage.

Firstly

, rapid growth in population around the world is contributing towards its deficiency. The rapid increase in the number of people requires a lot of

water

consumption and which creates a demand for freshwater.

Secondly

, rapid industrialization has increased the demand for it and is posing a threat to its shortage.

For instance

every year, millions of cars are produced and a startling amount of

water

is required in

this

process.

Finally

, lack of responsibility in its preservation and wastage

on the other hand

are the main causes for its limitation. As for the solutions, strict legislation for freshwater is required. No factories or industries should be allowed to release wastes into these sources and pollute them.

Moreover

, to reverse the already polluted

water

bodies, the governments should create infrastructures for their purification and make the

water

reusable. More experiments and research should be carried out to convert the seawater into saline-free

water

which can to some extent help in catering to the needs of a vast population.

Similarly

, everyone irrespective of governments and common people are required to contribute towards its conversation. Many households can limit their usage and

also

rainwater storing can

also

be helpful in meeting their daily needs of them. In conclusion, pure

water

is a limited resource and we cannot survive without it. So, it should be the responsibility of the individuals as well as the authorities to take measures to save it before it extinct.
