Introduction Wherever we are or we find ourselves, we always need water to survive, because it’s one of the most essential things in life. Not only is the human body 60 percent water, it’s also essential in cooking food, clothing, computers, moving our waste stream, keeping us and the environment healthy. Unfortunately, humans have proved to be inefficient water users. (The average hamburger takes 2,400 litres, or 630 gallons, of water to produce and many water-intensive crops, such as cotton, are grown in arid regions according to Prepper fortress The human population has successfully harnessed many of the world’s natural waterways—building dams, water wells, vast irrigation systems and other structures that have allowed civilizations to grow and thrive. But water systems are increasingly stressed, and some rivers, lakes and aquifers are drying up. “Water scarcity” refers to the volumetric abundance, or lack thereof, of water supply. This is typically calculated as a ratio of

Effects of Water Scarcity ·         Hunger Water is incredibly required to grow crops and to care for livestock animals. It is estimated that the global use of water for irrigation and agriculture is about 70% and that only 10% is utilized for domestic purposes. As a result, water shortage means the practice of growing crops and farming is greatly impacted. For this reason, water scarcity commonly contributes to lower yields and death of animals particularly in the arid and semiarid regions and as such, it results in hunger, poverty, and thirst. ·         Poor Heath In many developing nations, water scarcity forces people to drink water of low quality from flowing streams, majority of which are contaminated. Accordingly, they are infected with water-borne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery that kill people.
