Answer 17

1. in the water cycle the water vapor from the salty oceans condenses to fresh water which falls as rain.
2. but rain falls very unequally around the world and climate change is adding on to the problem. wet regions may get even more rain and dry regions even less.
3. rain soaks through the ground to give ground water, some ends up in aquifers, we pump it out to use it.

4.rain also runs over and through the ground and into rivers, we pump it out of rivers too.

5. earths population is growing over 80million a year so the amount of fresh water is growing too. in some places we pump more water than the rain can replace. the result, “water stress”.
