      What does qualitative scarcity of water mean?

    Answer:

                      It is a situation where water is sufficiently available to meet the needs of the people, but the area still suffers from water scarcity. (i) This scarcity may be due to bad quality of water. (ii) There has been a growing concern that even if there is ample water to meet the needs of the people, much of it may be polluted by domestic and industrial wastes, chemicals, pesticides and fertilisers used in agriculture, thus, making it hazardous for human use.
