What does the term "water shortage"" means? When it comes to water shortage, there is no correct definition. It just depends on whom you ask and where they live. For some people, it means having to commute extremely long distances just to reach a source of fresh water and to collect it. For others, water shortage means to content themselves with water only for a part of day. And finally, there are some regions in which people suffer from droughts that lead to a great amount of deaths. Therefore, in modern world problem with deficiency in fresh water has become a burning question, which needs immediate solution. .
According to Peter Rogers (2008), it is not right to consider that providing drinking water is a problem that affects only developing nations with dense population. It is easy to see that shortages of freshwater are meanwhile growing more common in developed countries as well, such as USA, Australia and the UK. In this essay I will study and analyze reasons of critical situation which exist in Australia. Firstly, Australia is a very dry continent. Compared with other lands rainfall in Australia is on the low level. Hence, the dry climate on the most part of continent leads to droughts and bushfires, which are corollaries of water shortage. The most life-threatening situation is placed into Murray-Darling River Basin in the southeast Australia, one of the biggest catchments area in the world. In recent years the territory, which surrounded it shriveled up and burned off in prodigious wildfires. It was the sequence of incorrect government policy that divided up the river among the consumers and "allowed the participants to trade water and market water rights ". Moreover, this problem causes not only humans, but also natural inhabitants of water ecosystems water and marsh plants, which help to maintain sufficient level of sanitation and hygiene" (P. Rogers, 2008). .
Beth Wade (2000) reports that because of weather changes and growing urban population problem, which earlier concerned only countryside, now shifted into the cities.
