I want to know the basic difference between the word over and about. Can someone help me on it?.
1) He is talking about the issue of water scarcity.
2) He is talking over the issue of water scarcity.
what are the difference between the two sentences?
He is talking about the issue of water scarcity.
we are talking over the issue of water scarcity

I think, talk over is more serious.

To 'talk over' something means to discuss it : 'We talked it over' It usually means a discussion between two or a few people about something of concern.
The sentence you have written does not sound natural. The first one is better : 'He is talking about the issue of water scarcity.' This could refer to someone giving a presentation.
