This

essay is to discuss the causes and possible solutions to solve

this

serious issue. The main causes of

water

scarcity are

water

pollution and desertification. In terms of

water

pollution, humans throw out

garbage (plastics, polythenes, factory waste and chemicals etc) into

water

resources

such

as rivers, lakes and oceans,

as a result

, the amount of drinkable

water

reduces immensely.

For example

, in Indonesia, almost all the

water

reservoirs which were distributing drinkable

water

are now filled with chemicals and garbage.

As a consequence

, the government now imports drinkable

water

bottles spending a large amount of money.

On the other hand

, deforestation highly affects reducing rainfall, which leads to reduced fresh

water

. As an example, recent research conducted by the meteorology department in Sri Lanka discovered that the rainfall in the hill country has reduced by 45% in 2020 compared to 1990

due to

desertification that happened in the time period.

However

, authorities and individuals can solve

this

issue, if they act effectively and immediately. As individuals, we can reduce

water

pollution by carefully

waste,

while

governments can implement laws against folks who pollute

water

and the environment. For an instance, the government of Sri Lanka recently revised its laws to mitigate the usage of plastic items by imposing a 500% of tax on companies that use non-recyclable plastics.

Also

, many individuals use reusable bags nowadays

instead

of polythene bags for shopping, which highly affects saving nature.

Furthermore

, to solve the deforestation issue, governments can introduce new tight rules and increase fines on people who destroy forests. To illustrate that, Indian courts punish folks who involve in deforestation with more than 1 million Indian rupees and a minimum of 20 years of prison time.

To conclude

,

water

has become a scarcity

due to

many human activities, and many people suffer from

this

problem. As responsible citizens and authorities, we should unite and take countermeasures to mitigate

this

crucial problem immediately.
