Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Water surplus exists where supply exceeds demand. These are known as WATER SURPLUS areas. These are located in temperate and tropical wet areas with high rainfall and lower populations. Areas include the Amazon Basin, large parts of North America and Western Europe.

Areas with a water deficit or water shortage include Northern Africa and the Middle East where there may be low levels of rainfall, high agricultural demands and/or high population densities.
