The study delves into the intricate relationships between water scarcity, socio-economic development, and key contributing factors. Through a quantitative analysis of data encompassing Crop Yields, Rural Livelihoods, Labor Migration, and Socio-economic Development, the research seeks to unravel the multidimensional impacts of water scarcity on various facets of societal progress. The findings reveal that while Crop Yields exhibit weak positive correlations with Rural Livelihoods and Socio-economic Development, their influence is modest. Rural Livelihoods emerge as a significant driver, displaying strong positive correlations with both Labor Migration and Socio-economic Development. Labor Migration, in turn, exhibits connections with Rural Livelihoods and a minor relationship with Socio-economic Development. Socio-economic Development maintains weak positive correlations with Crop Yields and Labor Migration. The outcomes underscore the pivotal role of Rural Livelihoods in fostering better Socio-economic Development outcomes, shedding light on the intricate dynamics that shape the complex interplay between water scarcity and societal advancement. These insights offer valuable guidance for crafting strategies that promote sustainable development and underscore the importance of enhancing livelihoods in addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by water scarcity.
