Explanation:

Water is the basic need for all living organisms on earth. As all organisms exhibit some part of body mass which includes water with regular functional activities the level of water in the body depletes as a result of this the demand for water in the body increases. The majority of diversity of living beings rely on freshwater for their survival.

The sources of freshwater on earth are reducing due to natural and human induced causes. The natural cause is the drought and the human induced cause is the deforestation which is related to the water cycle. If the water cycle is disturbed no more freshwater will be available. Also the human population is responsible for polluting the freshwater sources by discharging the sewage, industrial wastes and other pollutants. All these causes can be responsible for the shortage of clean drinking water in the future.
