I’m not sure if you are looking for an exact answer for a test, but there are many reasons for this.
As humans continue to consume (fresh) water, it starts to run out. Of course, we release this water through our bodily processes, but not all of this returns to be used again. Whenever water evaporates, it usually turns into clouds (I’m sure you already know this lol) but when it rains, not all water returns to fresh water lakes. A great amount either directly falls or trickles into the ocean, contaminating it for drinking.

Another reason could be access to water. Even if water is abundant, it can be very hard to access. Most freshwater is landlocked, either in bodies of water, like lakes, or trapped beneath the ground, called “fossil water”. Places either on the coast where they only have salt water, or very dry places, can struggle to get the water they need.

I personally don’t think we will ever have a water crisis, but there is the possibility if we don’t monitor and conserve it well.

Ps: I just realized I basically wrote an essay for this lol. Hope this helps

Because there's only a certain amount of freshwater that we can drink and in the future that certain percent is going to be lower.

Why do you believe Poverty Point was located adjacent to the Mississippi River?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

I  believe Poverty Point was located adjacent to the Mississippi River because it easier for people to travel to trade there. Also, Poverty Point was able to have a complex society because they had traded to get the objects or minerals they couldn't get from hunting or gathering.

What is the meaning of Socrate's comparison of society to a ship?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The Ship of State is a famous and oft-cited metaphor put forth by Plato in Book VI of the Republic (488a–489d). It likens the governance of a city-state to the command of a naval vessel and ultimately argues that the only people fit to be captain of this ship (Greek) are philosopher kings, benevolent men with absolute power who have access to the Form of the Good. The origins of the metaphor can be traced back to the lyric poet , and it is found in Sophocles' Antigone and Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes before Plato.

Why is evidence required in order to convict possible criminals?
Schach [20]
There's no exact list of things which one may 'require' but there are key pieces of information which can speed up the conviction. 

1) A concrete witness is extremely helpful as it gives secondary view on what occurred. Multiple witnesses can also be helpful as a multitude of answers all of which are the same essentially gives said criminal no way to hide/defend themselves.

2)Evidence, yes this sounds quite obvious but there are different types of evidence. Photo evidence while useful can be tampered with so make sure what you have is legitimate and clear. Do not use photo evidence that does not portray what you are trying to explain poorly. Clarity is key. Video evidence is virtually the best thing to obtain. Security footage is helpful although as I said, clarity is key.
