Industry and manufacture also requires a lot of water
Water is hard to transport to inaccessible areas
Human need for food also increasing need for water
No clean water for the poor
Water distribution is also affected by Climate Change. Droughts, heatwaves and pollution of freshwater all affect human livelihood
