The Role of Government in Addressing the Global Water Crisis
Several factors contribute to the global water crisis. Climate change disrupts rainfall patterns, causing droughts and floods. Rapid urbanization puts pressure on water infrastructure. Agriculture consumes 70% of the world’s freshwater, often inefficiently. Pollution from industries and untreated sewage contaminates water sources. Groundwater is being pumped faster than it can recharge. All these issues combine to create a serious, widespread problem that affects millions of people every day.
