If population grows rapidly in an area, what effect can occur on water resources?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Demand and pressure may increase

The direct answer is A: demand and pressure on water resources may increase. Every person needs water for drinking, cooking, sanitation, farming, and other activities. When the population of an area rises rapidly, the number of water users also rises. If the available water supply does not increase at the same pace, wells, rivers, reservoirs, and groundwater may face greater pressure. This does not mean that shortage must occur in every case, because supply and management also matter, but increased demand is a logical possible effect. Option A is correct because it links more people with greater water requirement. Option B is wrong because people continue to need water. Option C is wrong because a river does not automatically become longer when population rises. Option D is wrong because water resources are limited and require careful management. Memory cue: more people generally mean more demand for essential resources.
