Detailed Solution

The situations that best suit regions not suffering from water scarcity are regions with high annual rainfall.
1)      In the first instance, there is more rainfall than is necessary for the population; thus, this cause won't experience water scarcity because there is plenty of water to meet the people's needs and yet have extra.
2)      In the second scenario, where both rainfall and population are high, this area may experience a water shortage because it only has enough water to meet the needs of the people, which will continue to grow as time goes on.
3)      In the third instance, when rainfall is more, but the water is dirty, we might conclude that the cause would be the lack of access to clean water.
4)      In the last scenario, where rainfall and population density are both low, this region would similarly experience water scarcity as, over time, demand will rise, but supply won't.
