    Less resources are due to less rainwater & less rainwater is due less trees or

    I think global warming is also a main cause of fresh water depletion.. global warming
    is due to more air pollution.. air pollution is due to more production of green house
    gases.. this is because of less absorption of carbon dioxide and this is because of
    less trees..
    For melting of glaciers warming of earth is responsible..

    We need technology but we need to make it work along with preventing any
    hazardous to our nature too.
