The main problems associated with little or poor water conservation have to do with the resource’s scarcity as the world’s population and industrial demand both increase; at the same time, there is pollution of resources stemming from still-growing industry.
Scarcity has led to over-extraction of this resource from lakes, rivers, and watersheds, which causes serious environmental damage. In fact, the earth’s axis has tilted; this has been due to some extent to natural phenomena, but it is largely because of groundwater extraction and melting ice, a product of climate change.
