How does water pollution and the unequal distribution of water impact irrigation trade industry and drinking water in Northern Africa?
When industries along major rivers such as the Nile River or the Congo River dump their factory wastes into the water, all that pollution is carried downstream. Then, because there are few if any water purification systems, the people who live downstream get all that pollution in their drinking water. If the water isn't distributed properly, then the farmers who need to irrigate their crops won't get to get as much water to their crops. The crops will then die, causing people to starve. Hope this helps!

How do deserts and rivers of the southwest Asia affect the population in terms of where people live?
Deserts and rivers in Southwest Asia significantly influence population distribution. The arid conditions of deserts, like the Arabian Desert, limit habitation and agriculture, leading to sparse populations in those areas. In contrast, rivers, such as the Tigris and Euphrates, provide essential water resources for irrigation, drinking, and transportation, fostering settlements and urban development along their banks. Consequently, most populations are concentrated in fertile river valleys, where agriculture and commerce can thrive.
