Major cause of the global water crisis is increased competition between people and industries over limited

water supplies

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

With the increase in the population in the world at a rapid rate, it has led to the increase in the demand of the resources for meeting the needs and satisfaction of the people.

This has also led to the increase in the demand of water by people for commercial and for personal consumption. Since it is not available in unlimited amount, it has led to crisis of water because of the increase in the demand of water.
