Causes Of Water Shortage

Introduction

As the population grows in this era, water is a need and precious resources for everyone. Water shortage can be defined as insufficient water sources to fulfil the needs of human nature. According to WWF, from 100 percent of the earth nature, 70 percent of it is water that provides us fresh water to consume, bathe in and agricultural. In the world, 3 percent of water is fresh only and 66.67 percent of it is veiled into frozen glaciers or unavailable used. Over the total of 6.2 billion people, 1.1 billion of people are not accessible to water supply, 2.7 billion are finding their water resources and diseases are faced by 2.4 billion (World Wildlife Fund 2017). As we go further, we will able to know the causes of water shortage and

It can lead to different kinds of factors. The first major causes are water pollution. In Malaysia, polluted water is very serious problems for us. It also leads an impact to sustain water resources to every family. As highly cost to treat polluted water to fresh water some of the water is not treated and these water will not be consumable. Secondly, water is used inefficiently in agricultural industries. As in Malaysia, 68 percent out of hundred percent is used in the industry but 50 percent of it is larger irrigation schemes and 40 percent are the smaller ones. Thus, there is no recycling of irrigated water. Thirdly, rates of water wastage are high. High rates in water wastage are much more criticize Malaysia is that our country uses water in industries such as factories, domestic such as homes, and agricultural such as plantation projects that are in long terms unsustainable. In addition, privatization of the water sector is also a causes water shortage. The government plans to have privatized water supply in every state and it is considering as a source of modal. Although several water privatization schemes result shown is not as favourable and it is still consisting absences of transparency and accountability. Moreover, management of water supply is over-emphasized. The water administration framework in Malaysia utilizes and depends intensely on the water supply administration way to deal with taking

The more the prominent of request, the more water is needed to provide to the structures like dams, water treatment plants and water circulation channels should be constructed. Besides that, weather changing patterns will also cause water scarcity. In locally and globally, the climate and atmosphere are changing and this is influencing water assets. For example, in the year of 2016 during the month of June, rainy weather has decrease rapidly and the water level of several main dams are reducing that cause water crisis during that period of time. Next, low water rates is another factor of it. In the world statistics, Malaysia is listed among the lowest rating. This has not supported water protection but rather prompted water wastage and abuse, both of which undermine the supportability of water. On the other hand, institutional issues are also considering as a cause. Malaysia does not have a focal agency to deal with the general parts of water assets administration. An excessive number of agency have various parts of water administration, prompting sectoral administration of water and clashing or contending targets. Despite, High rates of Non-Revenue Water. It is way
