Abstract : Water scarcity is a significant challenge that poses implications for economic growth and population trends in Tanzania. This article analyzes the linkages between water scarcity and the Tanzanian economy by exploring the driving factors of major sectors from agriculture, industry to service sector. 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.

Keywords : Water Scarcity, Sustainable Development, Economic Growth, Demographic Dynamics.
