The video tutorial explores water scarcity, defined by the UN as insufficient water resources to meet regional needs. It distinguishes between physical scarcity, where natural water sources are inadequate, and economic scarcity, where infrastructure limits access. Causes include population growth, climate change, and deforestation.
