It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these factors interact and ultimately affect water availability and access. It examines the potential influences of economic development activities such as agricultural productivity, industrial activities, domestic and commercial activities onto water consumption. Additionally, the article investigates the demographic factors impact by examining the relationship between water scarcity and population dynamics, including migration patterns and urban growth. By understanding these implications, policymakers and stakeholders can develop strategies to address water scarcity challenges and to promote sustainable economic development in Tanzania.
