In this episode, we discuss what affects the availability of water.
Various elements influence how much water is accessible in a given area.
Climate plays a significant role, with low rainfall, high temperatures, and the potential for worsening droughts reducing availability.
Geology impacts water access depending on rock permeability, affecting groundwater storage and ease of extraction.
Human activities like pollution and over-abstraction, where water usage surpasses natural replenishment, further diminish supplies.
Additionally, inadequate infrastructure, such as poor water management systems, and societal factors like poverty, which limits access to clean water, contribute to water scarcity.
