Best Answer

If you look at a map that highlights the countries that are water rich and water poor, you will find a distributional pattern. This pattern is determined by:

>Ocean currents are factored into the frequency of rainfall. Warm currents, such as those around the eastern coast of Australia, provide rain, while cold currents, such as those on the western coast of Australia, provide no rainfall.

>Natural landforms also contribute to the amount of collected rainfall. Mountain ranges, for example the Great Dividing Range in Australia, forces moisture to rise, where it cools and then condenses as rainfall.

>Population size and infrastructure also determine the amount of water in regions. Largely populated areas have their resources distributed, and developed countries are more effective in harnessing their water.

Hope that helped!
