Causes
Where
Who
Solutions
The water cycle is slower than our needs and demands
Agriculture and any large industries hoard large amounts of water
Different populations took over lands, including bodies of water, which resulted in flooding because of the lack of space for rain to collect
Because of global warming, snow is limited, which means there is not as much melting concluding in less water
Leaky pipes which results in great water-loss
London, England
Barcelona, Spain
Cape Town, South Africa
People positioned farther away from freshwater sources
The less fortunate in the countries approaching day Zero
Reservations
Increasing the price of bottled or tap water
Positioning agriculture in a more geographically sustainable way
Being more mindful and valuing water more pushes possible day zeros
Gouvernements are attempting to desalinate water more and more
Tokyo, Japan
Large cities
Mexicali, Mexico
Evidence & Examples
In Mexicali Farming, the main water source is the Colorado river. Since global warming, the temperature is rising, which means less snow fall and ice accumulation, therefore during spring, there is no water to melt, and no water. The Colorado river is all dried up even before it reaches Mexicali
Water scarcity is causing violence and conflicts all over the world
Neskantaga, a reserve in Ontario, have a boil water statement because of dirty water
Mexico City used to be on a lake but water was drained by the arrival of the Spanish in the 1500s
