Why might there be water scarcity in the future

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

Answer: A unitary system is one in which power can be granted to or taken back from regions by a decision of central authority without the involvement of the regions themselves while a federal system is one in which there is division of power between a federal government and sub-federal governments(most times state and local governments)

1. central government has sovereignty over what happens at every sub-level

2. sub level competencies are defined by statute and not enshrined in the written constitution

3. There is no direct participation of sub-levels in constitutional amendments

Characteristics of federal system include:

1. federal laws supercede state laws

2. federal laws must be applied by state courts

4. There's representation of states in parliament and states actively participate in constitutional amendments

Example of governments practising unitary system is the United Kingdom, Norway, Romania and Israel while federal system is practised in the United States, Canada, Germany and Australia.
