Water Resources Water Scarcity

Regions with water in abundance still suffer from scarcity due to infrastructure gaps

0

What is the primary difference between physical and economic water scarcity?

Physical scarcity is caused by poor infrastructure, and economic scarcity is due to natural water shortages. Physical scarcity is due to insufficient natural water, while economic scarcity is due to lack of infrastructure or investment. Both physical and economic water scarcity are caused solely by climate change.

Water Resources Deep Well

Deep wells can reach depths exceeding 10,000 feet to access vital underground resources

0

What is a primary reason for drilling a deep well rather than a shallow one?

To avoid surface water contamination by staying close to the surface Because deeper wells always produce more water regardless of location To access reliable groundwater from deep underground aquifers

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

Water Resources Freshwater Resources

Less than 0.01 percent of Earth's water is fresh and unpolluted, vital for life

0

What is the primary reason that only a tiny fraction of Earth's water is available as fresh and unpolluted freshwater resources?

Freshwater resources are abundant but mostly polluted, making them unusable. Most of Earth's water is saline or locked in glaciers and ice caps, limiting accessible fresh water. Freshwater is evenly distributed globally but is overused in all regions.
