In 3-5 sentences explain how increases in the human population impacts water resources. provide specific examples in your answer
astra-53 [7]

An increase in human population negatively impacts the water resources. There is only a small amount of clean and drinkable water on Earth. If more people are on Earth, more of this water will be used by the population. An increase of people also means that more fossil fuel will be used.

<h3>How does human population impact water resources?</h3>

Population growth especially will limit the amount of water available per person, because an increase in per capita water consumption driven by development will intensify water demand, straining the local water supply.
