structural and physical scarcity

Answer 1

The water scarcity created by reduced river flow due to a dam built in China that affects the availability of water in India would be categorized as structural scarcity. This is because the scarcity arises from the changes in water flow and management practices related to infrastructure projects rather than a purely physical lack of water resources.
