Answer: 3. As the population grows the water supply increases.

Explanation:

Population can be defined as the total number of people living within a geographical area. When the number of people living in an area increases (that growth in population) the quantity of water that will be consumed by the population increases, that is there will be an increase in the demand for water and consequently there will be an increase in supply of water.
