Flow: For The Love Of Water

The author of "Water" develops their claim by giving their argument, stating water-related challenges, arguing the right to water, setting goals, and lastly, explaining the importance of water to hygiene and sanitation. In order to raise awareness, the author gives staggering facts about the issue and possible solutions. This author uses informative yet convincing language pointing his article at an audience who is researching the problem or those who would like to contribute to the

Water is life. When water is unsafe and sanitation non-existent, water can kill. Globally, waterborne illnesses are a leading cause of death for children under five, killing 1,000 children every day. Water source is the key for our life and future . Have you ever imagine a day without water ? . But people around

The acid rain eventually falls back into our rivers, streams and wells where we intern drink it and this is where the danger begins. The film gave various examples of different places that suffered greatly by contaminated water. The one that stood out most was Lago Titicaca a river found in Bolivia that was contaminated by blood it was devastating to see the people’s main stream in blood red because of the ignorance of the people.

Main Point: Third world countries lack accessibility to clean water exposing them to disease and harmful toxins that result in 2.4 million deaths annually (Bartram, 2010).

Many populations, the majority being in Africa, face many water-borne diseases mainly due to pollution of water resources. The option then becomes to either drink polluted water or not have anything at all. Continual Human development such as population growth and industrial growth have further drained water resources, causing a shortage of drinking water. As a result, there are many conflicts over ownership of water resources and these lead to injuries or fatalities.(2) As mentioned before, this shows why it is so important to find a solution to the issue of water shortage.

Not only are people affected but also animals and other life on Earth. The documentary helps gain insight by showing clips which each proves to us that the problem is real, that it is everywhere and that the chemicals from pollution such as atrazine are definitely affecting us with cancer and that the chemicals are affecting frogs. Meanwhile, we are only living with the misconception of the never ending supply of water and clogging the water supplies with wastes. The idea of incorporating intelligent views and facts such as results from experiments, GRACE, NASA, and of course the people who have faced so many things is what makes the documentary a living reminder of the fact that it is indeed the need of the hour to converse water or find alternative sources before it is too

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

any countries in the world are short of precious water. Given that water is so essential to everyday activities, such as cooking,washing, and growing crops, without the quality of water can affect our nation, even causing economic or social instability. The cdc estimates 780 million people around the world,more than 1 in 10, do not have access to an improved water source one that is protected from outside contaminants.

The author, Maude Barlow, begins her article by stating that there is a problem concerning the world’s water and how it can affect the people’s way of living. She includes three possible outcomes that could result from how people are mistreating the water supply. Sources of freshwater are becoming scarcer as people keep polluting and depleting them. As the lack of clean freshwater decreases, the amount of children dying increases, more so than war and diseases altogether which occurs more frequently with those that are of low socioeconomic status. Those that belong to companies dealing with water exchange are taking advantage of the shortages by selling them to regular people at expensive rates; this could ultimately lead to the market’s dictating

Estimates project that over 650 million people in the world are without access to clean drinking water. Additionally so, 3.4 million people die from water related disease each year.

Contamination of water sources is becoming a large issue in many countries. A very well know case of this is the large outbreak of Escherichia Coli in Africa. This outbreak caused many people to become infected with E. Coli when they ate meat from cattle that had been giving water that wasn't treated. The cattle's drinking water was contaminated with E. Coli when a large rainfall water caused their drinking water to become contaminated with fecal matter.

In the article "World Bank Wants Water Privatized, Despite Risks", Anna Lappé is a widely respected author and educator, known for her work as an expert on food systems and as a sustainable food advocate who gives us a harsh reality. A quarter of the world 's people do not have access to clean drinking water, and more people die from waterborne illnesses, than from all forms of violence combined. Anna also tells us the United Nations estimates, 240 babies die from unsafe water every hour. "Humans can survive weeks without food, but only days without water — in some conditions, only hours. It may sound clichéd, but it’s no hyperbole: Water is life" (Lappé). "It’s hard to think of a more important topic. We face a global water crisis, made worse by the warming temperatures of climate change" (Lappé). I have to agree with Anna, and I will add in population into that equation. "In the run-up to its annual spring meeting this month (April

One of Jon Stewart's recent guests on The Daily Show wasn't laughing. Robert Glennon, a professor of law and public policy at The University of Arizona and the author of Unquenchable, used his moment on national television to stress the severity of the global water crisis. Although it is difficult for many of us living in the United States, Canada, and the UK to imagine fresh water as a finite resource, the water crisis is already a stark reality for people living in developing nations. Did you know that taking a five-minute shower uses more water than a person living in a developing country slum uses in a whole day? Currently, more than 3.5 million people die each year from water related diseases and young children account for 88% of these

Comparing recent reports by WHO et. al(2015) and US Census Bureau(2015) showed that 663 million people-1 in 10 lack access to clean water, that means twice the population of U.S. lives without access to safe water. Globally 1/3 of all schools lack access to safe water(WHO et al. 2015). The water crisis is the number one global risk based on impact to society (as a measure of devastation) as announced by World Economic forum(2015)

Sustainability is the “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987). Water is a principal compound for human life across the globe. Although there is of 1.4×109 km3 of Water on Earth, only 0.37% of that is drinkable (Murphy, 2004). The inability to access this clean water then causes water borne diseases, particularly in poorer nations, such as Cambodia where only 14% of the population has access to drinkable water (Brinkley, 2011). This is then the reasoning behind the 3.4million deaths annually by water borne diseases within the developing world (World Health organisation, 2001). As 70L of water/day
