A serious problem affecting people right across the globe is lack of water for drinking, washing and other household purpose. Why do many countries face water shortage, and what could be done to solve the issue?

One of the most horrible problems among almost all countries is the lack of

water

. So, its utilisation is becoming more and more problematic now. The main reasons of

this

shortage are: agriculture, overusing and contamination of environment.

This

essay will discuss reasons and give possible solutions to solve the current issue.

To begin

, the first and foremost reason for

that is

contamination of H2O resources, which occurs via throwing garbage

such

as plastic bottles and used packages which can be barely dissolved. It is known by many people that most factories have directed their waste into

water

making it impossible to use.

Furthermore

, running a very long shower, using washing machine too regularly or leaving the tap running when brushing your teeth are all examples of how easy it is to waste

this

valuable resource.

Besides

this

, agriculture

also

demands a large amount of

water

. Many countries that are much drier and have lower aqua resources, cultivate crops that need high quantities of

water

.

Consequently

, the groundwater supplies are extracted out of measure. To explain, rice, which is used in many dishes, consumes about 4000-5000 litres of

water

per kilogramm of grain produced.

Following

this

we can say that, it

also

leads to a deficiency of

water

. To tackle

this

problem there are two possible solutions: increasing tax on

this

natural resource and cultivating crops that need low quantity of

water

along with

growing more trees.

Firstly

, the government need to make drinking

water

expensive, so people will use it in a more thrifty way, being afraid of losing extra money. To cite an example, Germany where price for clean

water

is very high and

this

is the first reason why people utilise it carefully.

Moreover

, stastics showed that H20 supplies in Switzerland became more stable after they limited white rice production and focused on cultivating buckwheat, since it takes four times less

water

to grow.

To sum up

, the

water

shortage is an acute problem, and the main reason for that are overuse and contamination, which can be solved by establishing higher taxes on

water

, and implementing new agriculture policies.
