Explanation:

Drinking water comes under hydrosphere hence it is a hydrological scarcity and viewed in terms of consumption the water is a natural resource is not distributed evenly as the place which is landlocked doesn't get sufficient water to drink and being a hydrological scarcity it is a combination of climates and weather patterns. The human population demands freshwater that is hard to find with the melting of ice caps and depletion of natural resources and reserves there consumption has increased further 10 times than it was earlier as people wastewater without even realizing that even after purchasing it they still would not be able to afford it. Agricultural scarcity is directly related t the use and discharge of water as water is used in irrigating the plants and used to drive machinery. This includes the technical aspects also.
