"For many of us, clean water is very rich and easy to get, without it we rarely pause to think about what life will be like." Marcus Samuelsson - About 70% of the earth is water , But only about 1% of them can be drunk (Sustainable World Alliance, 2014).
Therefore, the shortage of drinking water is a problem to be studied in detail and a solution to this problem has been developed. There are many reasons for the shortage of drinking water, but most of it is due to human activities. These activities include activities such as deforestation, contamination, water abuse, groundwater contamination that cause global warming. If future generations want to survive, it is important to develop a solution to this problem. This paper aims to analyze the shortage of drinking water resources and cause and solution of problems. Finally, I will summarize the issues discussed.
There are various human activities and tendencies which are the main cause of drinking water shortage. These activities destroy the environment, pollute the water source, or put pressure on the water resources, resulting in shortage of drinking water. Some of them are discussed below; environmental pollution is one of the main reasons for the shortage of drinking water. Pollution contaminates available water sources and risks water to human consumption. Contamination can also adversely affect the environment, adversely affect, and may drain water (Levy 62-67). In this section, we will explain three main types of pollution, water and atmospheric pollution and groundwater contamination. Air pollution occurs through human activities such as industrial products or automobile products such as combustion of fuels, emission of harmful gases, emission of greenhouse gases, etc.
Drinking water shortage around the world is being debated. In many developing countries, people can not access drinking water for various reasons. Water resources are exhausted in some cases, and water resources are contaminated in other cases. As a result, the population of Africa, in particular, is faced with many waterborne diseases, mainly due to contamination of water resources. Water resources are further pressed by human activities such as population increase and industrial activities, and drinking water is short. As a result, there are many conflicts in pastures and water resources, which leads to injury and death (Gleick 17 - 22). As stated above, this highlights the importance of finding solutions to water shortages.
