Activity 2:

Many months of little or no rainfall often result in the water levels in reservoirs dropping to worrying low levels. As a result, the relevant authorities are forced to set guidelines and place restrictions regarding the use of piped water.

Once considered an unlimited resource free for the taking, clean water is becoming a scarce and valuable commodity. Though most countries still have adequate supplies, continued depletion of wells and springs, wasteful use as well as pollution will reduce what is available in the future.

As countries develop, competition for water among industry, agriculture and domestic use will likely intensify, thus inflating the cost of water. 

To have enough water in the long run, we now must pay more attention to using it efficiently and keeping it cleaner as we do so.
