Water shortage is becoming a serious problem in the city because of the growing
population. That is why ihe city govemment has to take concrete steps to address it. One
solution is to make more water available through recycling. The building of more
desalination plants may be done but it is very expensive. Another solution that the city
officials are doing now is educating the people so they do not waste water. Meanwhile,
there is also a move of the government to protect existing water supplies from being
polluted. There are some more ideas to help solve the problem, but maybe, the ultimate
solution is that everyone must become actively involved.​
