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

It cannot be denied that the scarcity of various sources of clean
water
is one of the pressing issues of the contemporary
world
.
This
very shortcoming of drinkable
water
resources has a significant amount of detrimental effects on
people
's health. By patronising recent discoveries and sustainable inventions governments and
world
leaders could improve the scenario. Day by day
water
is becoming more valuable.
As a result
of global warming in recent years sea level has increased a lot.
Therefore
, waterbodies near the coastal area become salty. So
people
who are living in those areas cannot drink clean
water
and face health problems.
Furthermore
, because of industrial pollution natural sources of hygienic
water
are becoming less available and undrinkable. Since the
world
population has increased a lot
as well as
people
's life expectancy we are observing overconsumption of underground mineral storage of
water
. Governments of different countries who are facing
such
types of incidents and
world
leaders
such
as the European Union
along with
the United Nations can shift their eyes to invest more in modern technologies and sustainable inventions that try to solve
this
urgency.
For instance
, there are some scientists who are currently conducting their research on finding a solution that will use renewable sources and recycle
as well as
purify the polluted
water
. Grants from different corporations could make
this
technology cheaper and accessible to the public who are living below the poverty line. In conclusion, I like to mention that
people
's lack of awareness and education causes these very types of problems around the
world
,
However
, if governments and related authorities ignore the current situation and do not take any necessary steps, our future generation will face the dystopian reality where
people
will fight against each other just for a drop of
water
.
