The water shortage that hit the country lately causes several problems. Because of the water shortage, public places like local restaurants and many other places are forced to use very little water for cleaning which causes huge sanitation issues. In household settings, clean drinking water is also hard to acquire. Lack of water also results in clogged sewage, a perfect breeding place for mosquitoes and other insects- the source of dengue, malaria and other diseases. In rural areas, growing of plants becomes a hard job because of less irrigation, which leads to a shortage in crops like rice.
