Detailed explanation-1: -Climate change, increasing water scarcity, population growth, demographic changes and urbanization already pose challenges for water supply systems. Over 2 billion people live in water-stressed countries, which is expected to be exacerbated in some regions as result of climate change and population growth.
Detailed explanation-2: -In essence, only 0.007 percent of the planet’s water is available to fuel and feed its 6.8 billion people. Due to geography, climate, engineering, regulation, and competition for resources, some regions seem relatively flush with freshwater, while others face drought and debilitating pollution.
Detailed explanation-3: -Distribution of water and sanitation is unequal; who you are, where you live and the amount of money you have affects your chances. People living in extreme poverty, women and girls, children, disabled people, and remote communities are most likely to have their access denied.
