Water Scarcity in Developing Countries

Water scarcity in developing countries occurs when the demand for clean water exceeds the available supply, often due to factors like limited infrastructure, population growth, pollution, and climate change. This leads to difficulties in accessing safe drinking water, affecting health, agriculture, and economic development. Many communities rely on distant or contaminated sources, which increases time and health risks. Addressing water scarcity involves improving water management, infrastructure, sanitation, and sustainable practices to ensure reliable access for all and support overall well-being and growth.
