Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet water needs within a region. It affects every continent and around 2.8 billion people around the world at least one month out of every year. More than 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water.[1]

Water scarcity involves water shortage, water stress or deficits, and water crisis. The relatively new concept of water stress is difficulty in obtaining sources of fresh water for use during a period of time; it may result in further depletion and deterioration of available water resources.[2] Water shortages may be caused by climate change, such as altered weather-patterns (including droughts or floods), increased pollution, and increased human demand and overuse of water.[3] The termwater crisis labels a situation where the available potable, unpolluted water within a region is less than that region's demand.[4]Two converging phenomena drive water scarcity: growing freshwater use and depletion of usable freshwater resources.[5]

Water scarcity can result from two mechanisms:

As an astronaut goes out into space, her mass _______________ and her weight ____________________.
irinina [24]
As an Astronaut goes out into space, her mass REMAINS THE SAME and her weight DECREASES.
When one travels away from the earth surface, one's mass remains the same but the weight decreases as the gravitation pull decreases.
The experience of weight on earth is as a result of the counteracting forces acting one's body and the ground. When one is in the space, this counteracting force is removed because the ground is no longer pushing back on one's body. Thus, one's weight will decrease in space because gravitational pull is lower above the earth's surface.
