1) water scarcity is that there is not enough water or not enough clean or safe water for some people in the world
ReplyDelete2) It is a growing problem because more people keep increasing their demands on scarce supplies, like water, so the cost and effort of maintaining water will become more and more difficult
3) water is important because you need it in your body to drink, stay sanitary and even farm. If you do not have clean water, you can get many diseases which could be fatal.
4) this illustrates the basic economic problem by showing that there are unlimited needs and wants, so many people need clean water but instead of using our scarce resources to help them live, we are using them for other things that people desire that are not as important.
1) water scarcity is that there isnt enough water which is needed for the people of the world. since there isnt enough, it is considered scarce.
ReplyDelete2)it is a growing problem because since the population is increasing, and everyone needs water, therefore the demand for it increases, but the supply doesnt keep up with it
3) water is essential for a human to stay alive. if you are not able to get clean fresh water, you would die
4)this shows the basic economic problem, because it illustrates the fact that people have infinite needs and wants, and everyone needs clean water, however, rather than using our scarce resources to benefit humanity, we use them for our own desires (our wants) which are not as important. -yahya
1) water scarcity is that there is not enough water to supply the world's needs so it is considered scarce.
ReplyDelete2) As the population grows so does the demand for more fresh water especially as it is a necessity everyone needs it and the supply isn't going to grow as we cant make more fresh water.
3) water is important because it is a necessity. we need water to survive and stay alive.
4) This helps to show the basic economic problem because we have unlimited needs and scarce resources, fresh water is needed to stay alive and it is more than a want so it is how the public and private sector allocate it to everyone.
1) Water scarcity means that there is either not enough water for every human on this earth or some humans don't have access to clean water.
ReplyDelete2) As the population of the human race is growing fast, the demand of clean drinking water increasing as it is a needed for humans to survive.
3) Water is very important because it is a basic component of life. Our bodies require water for a number of reasons such as transportation of nutrients, detoxification and temperature regulation.
4) This helps us portray the basic economic problem as we 'as humans' have unlimited wants and needs however ther is a limit to the amount of resources the Earth has to offer, fresh water in this case.
1) Water scarcity is the limited amounts of drinking water available to us compared to our needs. There is not enough water so it is considered a scarce resource.
ReplyDelete2) It is a growing problem because the population is growing and with the population the demand for drinking water is increasing too. This is bad because it is a necessary resource for humans to live.
3) Water is very important because it is needed for the human body to survive. It also has to be fresh water or we can get many different diseases or die from the salt water.
4) It illustrates the basic economic problem well because it is a resource that we need but is a scarce resource because our needs and wants for it is infinite. It is also used for other things that we want rather than need, this means that some people do not get the water they need because others are using it for their wants. The wants can include, pools, baths etc.

1) There is not enough water to supply the unlimited demand for it by the global population.
ReplyDelete2) The number of people are growing therefore demand is growing but the amount of water isn't therefore demand isn't. making it even more scarce
3) It is one of the basic necessities for all forms of life including humans
4) There is an unlimited need for water but only a finite amount of it
1) water scarcity is when there is not enough water to supply the world's needs so it is considered scarce.
ReplyDelete2) As the population grows so does the demand for more fresh water, and the supply isn't going to grow as we cant make more fresh water.
3) It is one of the things that we as humans can't live without.
4) The need for fresh water is unlimited but there is a finite amount.

ReplyDelete1) Water scarcity is where there is not enough water to satisfy the needs of the world or a certain population.
2) Demand increases for water as the population increases however the supply quantity stays the same.
3) Water is important as humans need it in order to survive and the longest we are able to go for without water is a mere 3 days!!!
4) The need for freshwater is constantly increasing as the population increases but their is a limited amount of it so we must decide who to give it too and how.
1) Water scarcity is when there is too little water to meet our demands and is therefore considered scarce
ReplyDelete2)As the population grow the demand increases with it however the supply doesn't increase as fast.
3) water is important as humans need it to live and farm
4)the need for fresh water is unlimited like our want compared to the limited amount of water we have or our scarce supply
1) Water scarcity is when there is not enough water to fulfill our wants and needs leading to it being considered scarce
ReplyDelete2) It is a growing problem because as the population increases, the demand for water increases while the supply of water doesn't
3) It is important as we need it to live, stay sanitary and farm
4) This illustrates the basic economic problem as there are unlimited wants and needs for water but there is only a limited supply of clean water to use

ReplyDelete1) water is scarcity because it is not available in abundance for everyone. Freshwater is the water we drink and there aren't reserves for every single one of us.
2) it is a growing problem because the population increases by the second however water supplies do not grow at all so the water to man ratio goes down
3)we need water to stay alive, irrigate crops and clean ourselves
4) this illustrates the basic economic problem because water is finite but our need for water is infinite
1) Water scarcity means that there is not enough water to supply the worlds needs, hence scarce.
ReplyDelete2)The number of people is growing but the water supply is not, making it more scarce.
3)It is a need. we need it in order to survive.
4)This illustrates the basic economic problem because water is scarce and our need for water is infinite.

1) Water scarcity is either the lack of water available (quantity) or the lack of safe water (quality).
ReplyDelete2) As people put ever increasing demands on limited supplies, it will become harder and harder to build or even maintain access to water.
3) Water is important because it helps bring people out of poverty in different ways including: education, health and hunger (more crops so reduces hunger). Also, quite simply, water is a need and we cannot survive without it.
4) This illustrates the basic economic problem because all over the world people NEED water, however water is scarce and is not infinite like our needs for it.
