Water section 2

India is an example of one of the countries that face this problem and water shortages in India are getting more and more serious as time goes on. Currently India has the second biggest population in the world and it is expected to grow day after day. As a result of that, the water usage in India is increasing at a dangerous rate. In fact, the major problem is the existing damage to the water supplies, and this is a manmade problem because climate change in India has had a less dramatic effect on the water supplies than elsewhere, compared to other issues. Not only that, but also the bad management of the Indian government has been in not updating the infrastructure and in not enforcing rules on companies, in excessive water usage, careless consumption, and industrial and human waste which has led to damaging existing water supplies. However, if the Indian government does not take this problem under more serious consideration, it will be hard for them to focus on India's water resources and supplies in the future needed to cover Indian’s water needs. This then has a direct effect the economy of India. (Jaymi Heimbuch 2009).

There are many solutions to the issue of water scarcity which and are eco-friendly and cost effective. Water conservation is the most common solution that costs little compared to other solutions, such as purification, rationalizing domestic water usage and cloud seeding, which can be alternative solutions to the water shortage. But it involves all of us reducing our demands as it is everyone's' responsibility to save this nonrenewable resource for the future. Purification is a way of making the "can't be drinking water" potable. This method seems to be the easiest way to resolve the water shortage, but there is also extraction of sea water. This is when desalination takes place and when the salt is removed. However this process is very expensive as the machinery has to be acquired and that can be hard for poor countries that are facing such problems like India. (Nina Brooks, August 2007).
