- overcrowding; the larger the population at some place, the more crowded it gets, be it in traffic, walking, in stores, institutions...
- water pollution; more people means more pollutants in the water they are using, which in return creates water shortages because big portion of the water can not be used afterwards.
- water shortages; the amount of fresh water is limited, so once the population surpases the optimal number problems with fresh water start to occur. To this also contributes the irresponsible usage of water.
