Water scarcity is one of the top issues some countries around the world face today, but it isn't just developing countries that are struggling. Some countries with highly developed infrastructure are seeing threats to water supplies increasing due to poorly maintained infrastructure and climate change. Urbanisation, population growth, pollution and land development are all compounding factors to this.
