Why can water demand increase due to population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because more people need water for drinking and daily use

The direct answer is A: more people need water for drinking and daily use. Water is needed for drinking, cooking, bathing, washing, sanitation, schools, hospitals, farming, and many workplaces. Step by step, population growth adds more households and more users. If the average use per person stays similar, total demand rises because the number of users has risen. Conservation, recycling, or improved supply can change the amount used, but they do not remove the basic connection. Option A is correct because it gives the direct human reason. Option B is wrong: mountains do not drink water, although landforms can influence water flow. Option C is wrong because rivers need not stop for demand to rise; a stopped river would concern supply. Option D is wrong because population growth does not make land disappear. Memory cue: more people usually means more basic-resource demand.
