Answer:

D. in the polar ice caps

C. The amount of freshwater on Earth is decreasing

Explanation:

Over 68 percent of the fresh water on Earth is found in icecaps and glaciers, and just over 30 percent is found in ground water. Only about 0.3 percent of our fresh water is found in the surface water of lakes, rivers, and swamps.

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. ... Water scarcity is being driven by two converging phenomena: growing freshwater use and depletion of usable freshwater resources.

Answer:

Hey Emily!!

Umm i think i answered the same question...DID YOU ASK IT TWICE?

Anyway...HERE's YOUR ANSWER!!

FIRST QUESTION : Where is the majority of the planet’s freshwater located?

ANSWER : D. Polar Ice Caps ( and glaciers )...Studies suggest that about 68% of all freshwater reserves on Earth are found here...in rivers and lakes is just 0.3%!

SECOND QUESTION : Why is water scarcity increasing on Earth?

ANSWER : D. More land is being farmed. AKA Over-Farming...the irrigation systems which are used on modern-day farms continue to work the whole day NON-STOP, so over-usage of water for excessive farming reduces the total amount of available and suitable drinking water...

HOPE THIS HELPED YOU!!!
