water scarcity and its impact on sanitation
Water scarcity refers to a situation where the availability of clean and safe water is insufficient to meet the needs of a population. This scarcity significantly impacts sanitation, as limited water supply hampers the ability to maintain proper hygiene and sanitation practices. Lack of water restricts the ability to wash hands, clean surfaces, and properly dispose of waste, leading to an increased risk of disease transmission and compromised overall health.
