1) He is talking about 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.
