A Brief Note On Germ Free Water And The Ganges River

Specific Purpose: The purpose of this speech is to provide a persuasive speech on the issue of water pollution and inaccessibility to clean water in third world countries and offer some plausible solutions. The three solutions are filtration systems, chlorination, and collection grids.

Once people know about this, and to fix this problem, people will need to raise enough money to install water filters in the tap water supply. To get the money, people could set up a fund for this issue. We could ask people to donate any amount to the fund, give monthly donations, or do both. Finally, with the money, we could then buy filters to put in the water supply and save lives.

The Ganges River is very significant in the religion Hinduism, because it is believed that bathing in the water cleanses

Thanks to the United Nations general assembly recognizing the need for clean water in Resolution 64/292, the states and international organizations have been called on to provide funding and resources to help developing countries provide safe, clean, affordable, and accessible water to all. This is a step in the right direction, seeing as women and children in some countries have to walk more than 30 minutes to collect water- if there is any water to collect at all.

The freshwater that is available for use is becoming more contaminated with each use. The Clean Water Act of 1972 put in order more regulations in regards to wastewater and the dumping of it into rivers and lakes. Multiple-step filtration systems have been used since then to better remove toxins from wastes before it enters freshwater. In a personal interview with Moe Crabtree, Nature Resource Specialist for the Washington Department of Natural Resources, I learned some measures taken to keep water clean. Her common job is to setup timber sales which includes much precaution of rivers and streams. I asked her- “In what ways do you have to avoid water contamination?” she replied, “we have to divert culverts at minimum one hundred feet from

This will allow people to save time and money. BAM the bacteria in which makes water undrinkable is not easily degradable, the bacteria helping the water can lower the levels by 50%.

A fifth of the world’s population (1.2 billion people) lack access to safe water today.

The water and sanitation problem in the developing world is far too big for charity alone. Water.org is driving the water sector for new solutions, new financing models, greater transparency, and real partnerships to create lasting change. Their vision: Safe

“Any measure of a successful society — low mortality, economic diversity, productivity, and public safety — is in some way related to access to safe water. Every day, safe water is available for eating and cooking, bathing, clothes washing, and a myriad of other purposes”(MMW, 2017). In America where water is at just about every turn of a facet, we don’t always think about how fortunate we are to have amazing access to water. Subsequently, we are much less likely to think about what’s in our water. The Milwaukee area has a few different concerns pertaining to the water quality which effects Milwaukee area residents, lakes and rivers. Milwaukee water quality influences a large population of people since the City of Milwaukee-owned public utility

In the United States, the government spends more on clean water initiative than on cleaning the water. According to the government, it is easier and less expensive to advocate the prevention of water pollution than to actually clean the water (“Water Purification”). The bacteria and other microorganisms that get in the

The origin of the religion is unknown and the word "Hindu" is said to have derived from the Sanskrit word Sindhu which is now known as the Indus river. Hinduism like many other religions has its own beliefs, practices and outlook on why things are the way they are and how everything came to be the way that it is now. In the hindu religion rituals are within everything that they do from the day that they were born to the day they die. One of the rituals that a Hindu would go about completing to start off their day would be to wake up before dawn, head down to the river Ganges to bathe, pray and give thanks to the river , also known as Ganga Ma or Mother Ganges. Mother Ganges is the river that surrounds and isolates the subcontinent, because the water from the Ganges is so regular and dependable it has helped the small civilization to flourish and grow much across northern India. The people of India pray and give their thanks to Ganga Ma because for so long she has continued to give them the water that they need and provided them with a sense of protection and comfort. When the hindu's bathe in the Ganges river they believe that it is uniting them with the earth and heaven they bathe from head to toe , imerge themselves in the water to be fully purified and then they make an ofering of water to

Access to clean water is a basic human right and yet people around the world don’t have that right and they struggle to survive without it. The many uses of clean and potable water include water for drinking to cooking other daily purpose. It is reported that over 1.1 billion people lack access to an improved water resource and three million individuals, and majority of them children, suffer and die from water-related disease. The need to improve water quality and providing clean water should be major project for developed countries like the US and so called “well developed countries”.

Every day Americans depend on public water systems to treat and deliver over 44 billion gallons of water to homes daily (“Importance of Clean Water”). However, Americans

The Ganges River in India is an important river system that provides water for personal use, industry, and agriculture for well over half a million people. This river also serves a major role in the region’s cultural and religious practices. It is widely believed that this body of water is the Earthly manifestation of the Hindu goddess Ganga. For thousands of years, people have believed that Ganga can wash away a lifetime of sins and, therefore, no amount of pollution can harm her (Conway). As a result of this belief, industrial, agricultural, and human waste are dumped into the river on a daily basis.

The next pollution will be water pollution. This pollution comes from factories, automobiles’’ exhausts and mines, which dump sewage directly into the water. Moreover, as an Agrarian country, the usage of pesticides for agriculture in India calls for water pollution too. Excessive usage of organic matter by farmers will also lead to the same consequent. As mentioned, deforestation will occur as population increase and the forests are stripped, soil erosion will happen and further cause sediments in water. Furthermore, people in India bathe in river for spiritual rejuvenate. However, as they warding off their sins in water, body wastes are excreted into the river as well, leading to river pollution.
