India Killing Its Holy Water Summary

When readers first reading this article they can feel sense of logic because its similar to important article which it’s the Declaration of dependent, people will always remember it. There is also a good example of using logos in writing the statement such as “He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead” and “ He has taken from her all right in property, even ti the wages earns” and so on. She appeal to the reader’s logic when she presents the list of facts to support their argument “to prove this let facts be submitted to a candid world”

In the ethos category there are examples of personal experience and identification with the readers. An example of personal experience in this article is when Carter is talking about what it is like there. He says: “One of the most unforgettable and humbling experiences of our lives occurred on the coastal plain. We had hoped to see caribou during our trip, but to our amazement, we witnessed the migration of tens of thousands of caribou with their newborn calves. In a matter of a few minutes, the sweep of tundra before us became flooded with life, with the sounds of grunting animals and clicking hooves filling the air.”(Carter par.3) This is an example of personal experience because it explains how he has been there and experienced the place to its fullest. The next example of ethos that the article includes is identification with the readers. He makes this possible by saying: “It is a symbol of our national heritage, a remnant of frontier America that our first settlers once called wilderness. Little of that precious wilderness remains.” (Carter par. 8) This is an example of identification with the readers because he is basically saying that this is our nation and you, the reader, should care about the Arctic Refuge because it is apart of our American

My name is Vynateya Purimetla, and I am an eighth grader currently attending East Hills Middle School, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Presently, we are in a hydrogeology unit and we have been researching global water crises around the world and the effects they have on people who inhabit those regions. I am writing this letter to address the issues of inadequate sanitation, untreated sewage in groundwater, and holy rivers being polluted due to a host of reasons. These problems are occurring in both rural and urban areas, and are affecting more than 80% of the Indian population who depend on water polluted with untreated sewage, nitrate, and agricultural runoff for basic survival needs, (The Huffington Post). As the leader of the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, I hope that some of the solutions outlined in this letter could be helpful to you in solving India’s water crisis.

With all the contaminations of our drinking water people are greatly affected on a daily basis. People expose to a lot of diseases such as cholera, stomach viruses and this severe cases this can even lead to death. The death rates in developing counties are at its highest right now. Human are not only the ones affected animals also suffer the consequences of our ignorance example a herbicide call Atrazina which is use to kill weeds is said to be found most in or drinking water, streams and rivers is said to be responsible for the low sperm count in animals, such as fish and frogs, often times become cross gender and in most cases may result into death. Studies have also

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.

Logos: It is an appeal to the mind with the use of logic, rationality and critical reasoning to persuade the audience. The author uses logos in his article to make a logical connection with the topic. For example, the author uses the explanation of ideas in the article and employs lots of diagrams in each parts of the topic to show the visualization to support his evidence which is very informative because the visuals give lots of information about what the article is about and that to get attention of the audience.

People in Developing countries drink pond, stream, pond water which could be contaminated by animals and people. In third world countries they’re not really educated so they don’t know that the water they drink is bad for them. Another way they get water is by digging deep holes until they find water, it may be cleaner than the surface water but there would be still be a chance that it could be contaminated, which could end up giving them diseases and even death. 884 million people in the world don’t have water that is safe to drink. Also more 80 percent of sewage in third world countries contaminates their water source. Schools also don’t clean/safe water for kids to drink. In developing countries women and children spend 6 hours every day trying to collecting water and on

USnews.com finds that India is an area where a large majority of the population do not have access to clean water. Indians have to spend 62 more cents than the British for their water, which is estimated to be 20 percent of their average income. These are the circumstances that they have to live with in, where the only alternative is to use contaminated water. Those who choose to do so often face a risk of dying from an illness, more often from diarrhea. Exposure to dirty water accounts for the death of 140,000 kids in India.

Access to clean water in communities, prevents drinking contaminated water, and promote public health measures such as frequent hand washing, all have high impacts in improving the health, economy and social well-being of a community. Unfortunately, access to clean drinking water is not a given around the world because of some issues, such as “population growth, development and climate

Improper waste disposal is a consequence of the surging overpopulation in India and a major contributor to pollution. For example, as a result of India’s overpopulation, improper waste disposal persists to be a major component to the worry of pollution, as chemicals used in washing clothes, cleaning bathrooms, hospitals, etc are being deposited into India’s bodies of water (Yadav). In essence, India’s growing number of people cannot be supported by their poor infrastructure leading to people to dump their cleaning waste into India's bodies of water namely the Ganges river. Bodies of water that have been traced with these chemicals are also used by citizens of India for activities such as bathing and some water is even used for

The Global Water Institute stated that “approximately 700 million people in 43 countries are currently suffering from water stress and scarcity in 2013”, by 2025 2.8 billion people will face water stress and scarcity (Hameeteman, 2013, p.3). The global water supply is approximately 2.5% freshwater and 97.5% is saltwater (Hameeteman, 2013, p.4). Hence, it is crucial that the Earth’s population tries to manage the water stress and scarcity. There are many causes of water stress and scarcity, for instance: overuse of water due to economic reasons, pollution of water, drought, governmental access and policies, and many more. In Africa, many children and women are responsible in collecting water, thus, traveling large distances to collect clean or unclean water. In addition, sanitation facilities are inadequate causing “half the population” to suffer from waterborne diseases (Hameeteman, 2013, p.6). As a result, unclean water and poor sanitation are a leading cause of illness and death in this region. There are a few approaches to providing clean water to the African population, for example: piped water, stand posts and wells. Moreover, poor sanitation can be alleviated with pit latrines, urine diversion dry toilets and pour flush toilets (Septien, 2015). However, such methods can be expensive. Hence, it is important to understand the household’s income and the economic situation of the country. Contrary, different strategies are needed to provide clean water in the developed

Drinking water is completely an essential necessity and its quality can never be over emphasized just as its availability. Over 3 million people including children below the age of six making up more than 50% of that number die every year from drinking contaminated water. According to UNICEF and WHO, one in eight people worldwide lack access to safe and clean portable drinking water. As a result of this, many of these people are forced to drink this infected water knowing that it is harmful and life threatening. In poor developing countries, people are only able to get about 19 – 20 liters of clean water daily. The demand and supply or availability of clean water in these countries have made people to walk for hours and travel miles on foot to get access to less contaminated water.

Many countries in the world today deal with countless amounts of issues that seem impossible to solve. One of these issues is clean water and sanitation. A good amount of countries in the world do not have water that is suitable for drinking. It is believed that having the access to water, hygiene and sanitation is a human right, but so many people in our world today to not have access to any of these. Clean water is considered water that you are able to use safely without worrying about the risk of health issues. About 1.8 billion people around the world only have access to drinking water that is contaminated with feces (United Nations, 2015). Sanitation can be defined as the importance of hygiene and prohibiting disease by maintenance of sanitary conditions. Around 2.4 billion people do not have access to sanitation services, like toilets (United Nations, 2015). The lack of water impacts more than 40 percent of the world and is supposed to rise (United Nations, 2015). A little over 80 percent of contaminated water comes from human activities and is dumped into the oceans and rivers without any treatment to filter it, which leads to pollution. The United Nations mentions that “water scarcity, poor water quality and inadequate sanitation negatively impact food security, livelihood choices and educational opportunities for poor families across the world. Drought afflicts some of the world’s poorest countries, worsening hunger and

One of the biggest challenges facing the world today is the emphasis on providing clean water to everyone throughout the world. This is a fairly easy task in wealthier countries with strong central governments which establish regulations on how waterways are maintained and treated, however in developing countries like India the task is insurmountable. With India’s population soon to surpass China “by 2022”, there is a huge concern in the lack of clean drinking water for many of their citizens (Riley, 2015). If India’s population is going to continue to rise at the rates it is experiencing today, the government must create more initiatives to alter the poor hygiene practices by its citizens, to ensure everyone has access to clean drinking water.

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.
