RESOURCE AVAILABILITY(WATER)

CAUSES

• Human pollution from trash and factories
• Wasting water and not conserving it
• More water is being used as the population increases
• Overallocating of water which dries up rivers and lakes

ANTHROPOGENIC OR NATURAL

• Less water available is a fault of humans-anthropogenic
• Humans havent found a way to get to and use some water sources
• But also natural because climate change has a part in this too

EFFECT ON THE BIOSPHERE

• Biosphere-part of earth's crust, water, and atmosphere that supports life
• A lack of water available in the biosphere causes many problems....
• -dehydration and illness, leading to death
• -decreses in many populations of people and animals
• -causes changes in the water cycle and the weathere

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

• Finding ways to clean or purify the groundwater or bodies of water
• Using less water, conservation measures
• Cutting down on littering and pollution
• Taking a part in keeping the Earth clean
• Finding ways to evenly distribute the water (give what is needed for survival)
