water scarcity can result from two mechanisms:









































bullet::::- physical (absolute) water scarcity









































bullet::::- economic water scarcity









































physical water scarcity results from inadequate natural water resources to supply a region's demand, and economic water scarcity results from poor management of the sufficient available water resources. according to the united nations development programme, the latter is found more often to be the cause of countries or regions experiencing water scarcity, as most countries or regions have enough water to meet household, industrial, agricultural, and environmental needs, but lack the means to provide it in an accessible manner.
