water scarcity and pollution
Water scarcity refers to a situation where the demand for water exceeds the available supply, leading to a lack of sufficient clean water resources for human and environmental needs. Water pollution, on the other hand, refers to the contamination or degradation of water bodies, such as lakes, rivers, and groundwater, due to the introduction of harmful substances or pollutants, making the water unfit for its intended use.
