Detailed explanation-1: -Water scarcity is often divided into two categories: physical scarcity, when there is a shortage of water because of local ecological conditions; and economic scarcity, when there is inadequate water infrastructure. The two frequently come together to cause water stress.
Detailed explanation-2: -Physical water scarcity often arises in dry, arid regions of the world. It could also happen in areas where there is enough water but just not enough to meet the growing needs of the human population like irrigation and energy generation for which there is overdevelopment of hydraulic infrastructure.
