A serious problem affecting countries right across the globe is the lack of water for drinking, washing and other household uses. Why do many countries face water shortages, and what could be done to alleviate the problem?

Nowadays, there is a growing concern about

water

shortage in cities all over the world.

This

crisis has made daily life a lot harder for people. There are a number of reasons for

this

problem among which are overuse of

water

by people and bad agricultural policies.

This

essay will examine these reasons, and suggest potential solutions as well. Arguably, the most important issue in terms of

water

scarceness is the intentional and unintentional overuse of

water

in houses.

That is

because people now find it easy to have

water

through the plumbs and do not value it that much.

Therefore

, they tend to use too much of it without thinking about preserving it for others and future generations.

For example

, they wash their cars with drinking

water

or let the

water

pour down the whole time when they are taking a shower. A solution is for the government to increase the prices of household

water

usage

and at the same time, launch publicity campaigns on how to reduce

water

use and how difficult it is to bring

water

into cities, thereby raising awareness of the public on the importance of

water

. Another problem is the inefficient approaches used in agriculture.

That is

to say, many farming systems around the world are still traditional and do not use modern technology.

Moreover

, countries that are naturally drier and have lower sources of

water

cultivate crops that need high quantities of

water

.

As a result

, the groundwater resources are extracted excessively. The way forward must be for authorities to ban illegal wells and drilling, encourage and subsidize modern irrigation equipment and prohibit the growth of products that consume high amounts of

water

. These measures can highly reduce

water

usage

in the agriculture sector. In conclusion, it seems to me that

water

shortage trouble is deeply rooted in its bad

usage

in household and agriculture sectors. As I see it, governments and decision-makers all have a role in tackling these issues. It is important to take steps in reducing

water

usage
