Why does privatization of water resources lead to water scarcity?

Geography
1 answer:
Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

One-quarter of humanity faces a looming water crisis, including the prospect of running out of water, which may seem inconceivable when 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface is water. Nevertheless up to 80 per cent of available surface and groundwater is being used every year and water demand globally is projected to increase by 55 per cent by 2050. Why is the world facing a crisis of water scarcity and what is driving the increasing demand for water?

Explanation:

The first reason that is causing water stress around the world is the growing human population at the same time as the water supply has remained the same. Given that there are almost one billion more inhabitants on Earth every 15-20 years, this has led to a progressive deficit in the global water supply.

Which essential element of geography focuses on common cultures
bogdanovich [222]

The correct answer is - C) places and regions.

All places and regions have their own unique traits from whatever aspect we are looking at them. The way of functioning, the culture, are determined by the geographical conditions that are found at certain place. It might be the amount of sunlight, the geostrategic position, the amount of rain, the amount of wind, is it a lowland or it's a high altitude place or region, is there rivers and how big they are, etc... All geographical factors influence the common cultures, and it is very easy to notice if you make a comparison between the cultures that are found around the Mediterranean with the ones in Scandinavia for example, and how much and what way the geographical factors are influencing the cultures.
