English term or phrase: and having too little
Risk of water-related disasters

Just as drought and having too little water causes problems, too much water in
its unmanaged state can cause devastation in the form of floods, landslides and
disease outbreaks. It is important to consider ongoing risks associated with too
much or too little water in water security planning.

Escasez de agua


Explanation:
I think it's making a contrast between drought (the state of no water at all) and the condition where water is not sufficient (there is some, but there is little).
