The causes of water security are varied. Some are natural and others are as a result of human activity. The current debate sites the causes as largely deterministic in that security is a result of identifiable cause and effect. However, if water security is the point at which water stress occurs (the point at which various conflicts arise, harvests fail and the like), then there are also less definable sociological and political causes. Many of the causes are inter-related and are not easily distinguished.
Causes of food security:
- Natural disaster, such as earthquakes or hurricanes
- Water contamination resulting from stormwater runoff
- System malfunctions
- Power outages
- Vandalism
- Human error
- Major water main breaks
- Sabotage/terrorism
- Waste leakage
- Civil unrest
