Answer:

Larger the population, higher the (water) tension

Step-by-step explanation:

The rise in population leads to higher demand for water for domestic, industrial, agricultural and municipal needs and also evacuation for waste materials. The most water scarce areas are typically those with few water resources, high population, and even higher population growth rates.
