Data indicate that the present rate of freshwater consumption in most developed countries is ________. A. Sustainable for the foreseeable future B. Irrelevant, as water is not currently limiting C. Only a problem in areas not on the coast D. Unsustainable E. Increasing groundwater storage and decreasing surface water storage

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. Unsustainable

Explanation:

  • As the world freshwater reserves are very limited and these are generally found in glaciers, lakes and underground areas most of the world depends upon the 3% of the available fresh water for drinking purposes and most of the developed countries have this water stored in other frozen forms or underground supply.
  • Most of this water is considered to be unstable and hence has an unsuitable future, as seeing the current trends of the utilization of these reserves will not last long enough for the future generation to use as the presence of the direct threats from the global warming and climate change.
  • Apart from that most of the water gets wasted and hence is not being judiciously utilized.
