In this article, The Why Files investigates the world's water shortage problem. The problem comes from an increased demand (due to increased population) for a finite supply of water on the Earth. The article discusses areas that have been hit the hardest (such as China and India), controversy over water rights, how charging money for water could help solve the problem, how global warming could change the situation, and what needs to happen in the immediate future to ease the water shortage.
