The government defines less than ............... cubic meters per person per year as water scarcity.
Answer: A
Water scarcity is defined as less than 1000 cubic metres per person per year.
The Falkenmark water stress indicator, widely used by governments and the UN, classes a region as water-stressed below 1,700 cubic metres of renewable water per person per year, as facing water scarcity below 1,000, and absolute scarcity below 500. India's per capita availability has been falling towards the stress threshold.
2,000, 2,500 and 3,000 cubic metres are above even the stress threshold, so they describe adequate supplies, not scarcity.
