Summary
Water scarcity has become a serious issue for the Earth. The rapidly increasing world population and water pollution have immensely contributed to the situation. Water scarcity, both natural and of human origin, is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands within a region. Water is unequally distributed over time and space. Much of it is wasted, polluted and unsustainably managed. There is an urgent need to solve this problem by enhancing water management and preserving wetlands. If the solutions are taken into consideration and appropriately applied, water scarcity may be halted. According to the International Water Management Institute environmental research organization global water stress is increasing, and a third of all people face some sort of water scarcity. Where demand exceeds supply and no effective management operates, there will be conflicts between the various players involved.
