      There is a possibility that this may happen. Water is already running out in some places of the world. Cape Town in South Africa has been one city that has had a water emergency already! Try to look after and preserve water when you can. Especially in the summer – every little bit counts

      I don’t think earth will ever run out of water, as our oceans are full of water and this is recycled as rain. The main difficulty is cleaning the water to make sure if it safe to drink and use, and making sure it is available where people live. We need to be careful not to waste clean water, as a lot of energy goes into cleaning it so it is safe to use. Although in Ireland we have lots of rain and are surrounded by the sea, in other countries droughts happen, and people are often a long way from clean water sources. We need to be mindful of this.

      It is possible. There are already places in the world where water rationing has to happen because of the shortage of water.
