Water insecurity is when there is not enough clean water available for people to meet their daily needs, such as drinking, cooking, and washing. This can happen due to a variety of reasons, like droughts, pollution, or too many people using water in one area. Water insecurity can lead to serious problems like health issues, difficulties in growing food, and conflicts over water access. It is an important topic in GCSE Geography because it helps us understand how water availability affects the environment and people's lives around the world.
