However, with climate change causing disasters on a global scale, all countries could be affected. ]]> 2022-02-14 06:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/janicechin/waterscarcity_2022c/wish/2045575978 https://padlet.com/janicechin/waterscarcity_2022c/wish/2045576595 Water scarcity refers to the shortage of water resources where needs for water (e.g domestic use or cosumption) are not met.

Moreover , the turnover time for different water resources vary; at present we may be consuming at a faster rate than at which they can be replenished. Agriculture also uses extremely large amounts of water, as a result the resources are depleted. ]]> 2022-02-14 06:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/janicechin/waterscarcity_2022c/wish/2045579774 https://padlet.com/janicechin/waterscarcity_2022c/wish/2045582203 Possible reasons: 
- uneven distribution of water
- poor geographical location
- lack of financial capability to import water from other countries
- pollution of groundwater

They also 
 lack financial aid that's why they might suffer from water scarcity.
