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

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
