RESOURCE AVAILABILITY

WHATS HAPPENING

• We may not have enough freshwater in future years
• We are using up our resources too fast and inefficiently

CAUSES

• Overpopulation
• Inefficient Usage by humans

ANTHROPOGENIC

• Water availability is at an all time low because of humans
• We are wasting freshwater everyday

EFFECT ON BIOSPHERE

• The hydrologic system is potentially very sensitive to changes in climate
• Changes in precipitation affect magnitude, the frequency and intensity of floods and droughts
• Changes in temperature results in changes in evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and infiltration

SOLUTIONS

• Find more efficient ways to use resources, encourage people to have less children
• Stop pollution of freshwater sources
