Explain the relationship between ecological footprint and water scarcity.

• The ecological footprint measures the amount of resources a person or population wastes, including water. Water scarcity occurs when the demand for water exceeds the available supply.

• The ecological footprint measures the amount of resources a person or population consumes, including water. Water scarcity occurs when the demand for water exceeds the available supply.

• The ecological footprint measures the amount of resources a person or population conserves, including water. Water scarcity occurs when the demand for water exceeds the available supply.

• The ecological footprint measures the amount of resources a person or population consumes, excluding water. Water scarcity occurs when the demand for water matches the available supply.
