Question: To what extent are water scarcity issues better addressed through changing human behavior than through technological development?

(9 points required)

Answer 1

The question is asking how human behavior may have more of an impact than technologies that conserve or make more drinkable water.

There are many examples where behavior changes can decrease water usage. Certain agricultural products need more water to make than others, so by not buying them can help decrease water usage.

This might be a better alternative than the technology that allows agriculture to be made with less water, either through genetic modification or new and efficient agricultural techniques.
