Answer 2

The correct answer is B) Water shortages are expected in 40 states before the year 2026.

Water conservation is necessary because water shortages are expected in 40 states before the year 2026.

Water is a non-renewable resource. Water conservation is very important because although planet earth is 80% water, scientist says that only 3% of the planet is fresh water and people waste so much water when there are countries in India, Africa, and South America that do not have fresh water and people have to walk miles to get some.

People are consuming freshwater resources faster than they can be replenished to the degree of US government officials are expecting 40 states to have water shortages in the next decade. In a survey of the Government Accountability Office, state water officials said they were expecting shortages by 2025-2026.
