Detailed Solution

Water scarcity occurs because of low rainfall in a region, large population, over-exploitation, and unequal access.
In India, water scarcity is so serious that by 2025, it is estimated that India will join the areas having absolute water scarcity. Water scarcity is a condition when there is not enough fresh water to fulfil the water requirements of the people.
Mentioned below are some reasons for the water scarcity in India:-
1)      Water is divided unequally, and not all have equal access to it.
2)      The greater the population, the more water is required to fulfil its needs, which leads to a water shortage.
3)      Making excessive water use and not using it wisely will lead to its depletion.
4)      The lower amount of rainfall in a region also causes water scarcity.
