Water section 1

The environment is affected by all creatures as they live and interact with the natural resources. Unfortunately, human beings have affected natural resources the most. Due to the increasing usage of these nonrenewable resources, people have faced already and will continue to face a lot of environmental problems such as global warming, pollution, water shortage and many other problems. This paper will cover one common environmental problem that everybody can help solve and that is water shortage. This urgently needs to be considered so the next generation can survive, and one of the countries that face this problem is India. (Web of Creation 2012).
Water shortage happens when the demand for water is more than the availability of one's area or region, regardless of the different reasons that cause the water shortage. Global warming is the most important factor that has created water crises, because of the effects of climate change. So, the water shortage is a combined problem born from some other environmental problems. Therefore, causes of the water shortage are the high temperatures annually, an increase in the amount of floods in the rainy seasons and a decrease in the summer seasons which creates droughts. Also, there is less water saved in the icy glaciers on mountains, which are called the reservoirs. In addition to that factories and industries can be included as a cause of the water shortage. Many factories drop their industrial waste and garbage into the oceans or even in the fresh water of the rivers and lakes, which damage the purity of the water and cause the pollution. So the causes of the water shortages can be divided into two types: natural made causes and human made causes. This shortage will impact nature negatively and causes a lot of serious problems for humanity as a result. (winksci 2012).
