I agree with Gabriel. Water is scarce because it is both desirable and limited. All over the world water is limited it just happens to be more limited in some places than in others. This does not mean that there is a part in the world that has unlimited water. Water is scarce, but it is not a very important issue right now because there is a lot of it.

I agree, that it depends on the country's situation and location when it comes to clear water or the amount of water. However, many countries like Switzerland only have clean and enough water becuase the government uses the tax money to produce and clean out the water for everybody. In other nations, like Africa, the government is not able to use tax money for this purpose because their country consists of many poor people. These people cannot pay taxes and therefore, the government has not enough money to spend it on clean water. The water supply of water depends on the countries economic stability.

water is not scarce. it is in a continual cycle, so theoretically we have infinite water. however we do not have the means to purify said water. although we have the technology, we do not have the incentive to use it, because in most cases it would be humanitarian aid. an most ppl dont work for little or no money.
