What”s Water to us ? well Water is a natural resource in the Earth.Water is essential to our life also, such as water can solve our thirsty problem, water can make us survive, water can clean our body, water can recharges our fatigue, and water can revitalise our skin.According to scientist investigation, 70% of our body mass are water.Therefore, water is very important to us & Should be Worldwide. Barkin, author of “Mexico city's water crisis myriad faces” states. “ Today, Many poor communities not only lack regular service, they lack access to any supply of water suitable for human consumption” Today it is hard for them to get fresh water without having to go a long trip (Barkin). Thats why its really important for us humans to realize what's happening & how we can all help each other before its to late. Using too much water to cause future damage to people around the world. According to Coles, author of “The Growing Water Crisis,” “If current water trends and policies deteriorate, we can expect the situation to become much worse, with total worldwide water consumption 13% higher by 2025 than it is today. Food prices can be expected to nearly double, and world cereal production in 2025 will be 270 million metric tons less than if a sustainable water-use policy is adopted” (Coles). If food crisis double, there may be an economic crisis. Many people can't afford food at its current price, so by raising it they may starve. This could lead to increased crime and violence. If we let the water consumption rise we wont have enough to spare. McCarthy, author of “World Bank predicts water crisis,” states, “Today. one billion people living in the developing world have no access to safe, clean water. The result is that some 10 million ... ... middle of paper ... ... water but not all the water is clean or fresh. Almost all the water comes from oceans and those oceans feed some of the animals that we still have around today, but we have realized that we are running out of fresh water & we don't have a plan to get fresh water again, Thats why we need everyones help to understand what's really going on & that way we wont go thru bad things in the future like running out of fresh water. Another thing to keep in mind has to do with companies that own water because water should be free & not owned by someone and that way we have to buy water. Works Cited The Cove. Dir. Louie Psihoyos.

  • Summary Of The Film 'Last Call At The Oasis'

    652 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Last Call at the Oasis” is a documentary about our world’s water crisis. The film discusses how many large cities in America are getting closer to use up their available water, how many areas across the globe do not have access to drinking water and are forced to drink contaminated water, how water shortages are causing acts of violence and are causing stress to agricultural communities, and a possible solution of using recycle water to stop us from wasting so much water. The film goes around the globe to talk to scientists who are studying contaminated water, people who have become very sick due to this water, and to the agricultural community in Australia where, unfortunately, some farmers have take their own lives due to water shortages.

  • The Water Shortage in Mexico

    989 Words  | 2 Pages

    The total area of Mexico’s surface is slightly less than 2 million km2 (UNESCO 2006). The population is about 103 million people (Castro and Heller 2009). In the last two decades, as the population of the country has been growing intensively, the demand of water also dramatically increased. According to Armentia and Cisneros, the number of people who don’t have an access to water supply is about 11 million, almost 11% of Mexico’s population (Castro and Heller 2009). But there are far more people who don’t have an access to safe water. Moreover this situation with lack of water is exacerbated by malfunction of sewer systems. But to understand the causes of scarcity of water in Mexico and to evaluate the policy of the government in this sector, it needs to be observed thoroughly.

    This is because only a small part of the population, particularly in developing countries, have access to water of acceptable quality. It is estimated that in some countries only 20% of the rural population has water of satisfactory quality. Based on these statistics, it is clear the urgent need for awareness about caring for water use. Almost without realizing it, we are seriously jeopardizing this essential resource, not for us but for our children's children and their generations, aware that in other parts o...

  • The Water Crisis and Solutions

    It includes the water found in lakes, reservoirs, and groundwater that is shallow enough to be tapped at an affordable cost. These freshwater sources are the only sources that are frequently replenished by rain and snowfall, and therefore are renewable. At the current rates of consumption, however, this supply of fresh water will not last. Pollution and contamination of freshwater sources exacerbate the problem, further reducing the amount of freshwater available for human consumption. Something must be done if humans want to even survive in the near future: the lack of clean drinking water is already the number one cause of disease in the world today.

  • The Problem of Water Scarcity

    1538 Words  | 4 Pages

    Water scarcity is harmful to human life because when water is poorly managed throughout the world, those who need water are deprived of nutrients they truly need, causing them to die. This eventually affects the global population. Therefore, many experts have proposed several solutions such as the LifeSaver Bottle, TrojanUVPhox treatment system, and Waste Water Recycling. The problem of water scarcity has increasingly spread throughout the world as of yet, The UN reports that within the next half- century up to 7 billion people in 60 countries which is more than the whole present population will face water scarcity (Sawin “Water Scarcity could Overwhelm the Next Generation”). As well, the demand for freshwater has tripled over the past 50 years, and is continuing to rise as a result of population growth and economic development.

    As of this year, nearly 1.1 billion people live without clean drinking water and 2.6 billion live without adequate water sanitation. The McDonald's down the street, however, will sell you a 1/3 pounder burger for only 150 gallons. Changes in lifestyle can easily reduce this number and help not only save water, but money as well. Currently, with our diminishing water supply, one of the main goals of humanitarian organizations is ensuring that everyone has the right and equality to water. With global access to water, it reduces the responsibility for political tension between countries fighting to literally stay alive.
