When will population growth put more pressure on water resources?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When water sources are limited

Direct answer: A, when water sources are limited. Population growth adds people, and people need water for drinking, cooking, washing, sanitation, farming, industry and other activities. The reasoning is: more people usually increase demand; if the available water supply is restricted, the gap between demand and supply becomes larger. This can create scarcity, competition and water stress, depending on rainfall, storage, infrastructure, consumption patterns and management. B is generally wrong for this question because abundant sources can reduce pressure, although careless use can still create local problems. C is wrong because a decreasing population generally lowers total demand, if other conditions remain similar. D is wrong because water pressure cannot result when there is truly no demand. Memory cue: pressure is greatest when demand rises while supply is limited.
