Content: Drought
During a drought period, rivers, swamps, ponds, streams, and other water sources dry up. There is scarce water for domestic and industrial use. Conflict
In some regions, there is conflict over water sources like rivers and other water sources. This may cause others to have it and others not to access. Distance
In some dry areas, people live far away from oasis and boreholes, where they can fetch clean water. Traveling to get water takes a lot of time. Carrying water is also a burden that discourages many people. The long-distance may cause water shortage in such communities. Restriction by governments
Some governments may restrict water supply and accessibility to its citizens. It is a common practice in some dictatorship governments.
