Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As human populations grow they consume more water, not just by drinking, but through all of the other human activities that require freshwater such as agriculture, bathing, cleaning, etc. Overpopulation, therefore, can lead to overconsumption as populations use more water than an area can support and replenish sustainably.
