Water is one of life’s most precious resources. Without it, life as we know it would cease to exist. Almost all life is dependent on water for survival. Humanity uses water in almost everything they do in their daily lives, whether that be for consumption or production. However water itself is not enough to sufice, clean water is required for life to thrive. Dirty untreated water can be the cause for death as well, so it is integral that water be kept clean. The government has enacted laws to ensure that our water is maintained and kept clean. These laws cover industries, plumbing, and sanitation among other things. Unfortunately, the city government in Flint Michigan willfully failed to provide safe water for its citizens.

Some people say that they haven't gotten any symptoms from water contamination, therefore, there is no actual harm, but the fact is that it can result in problems later on in life and cause a shorter lifespan. So, in summary, water quality needs to be better and no longer contaminated. Help spread the word and raise money for filters

The water supply was officially switched in April of 2014, and shortly after, residents began to complain about the smell and color of their water. Months after resident’s complaints were essentially ignored, E. coli and coliform bacteria were detected in the water (NPR, 2016). Residents were advised to boil their water until pipes were flushed and water was treated with chlorine. The exact same scenario occurred for a second time in September.

We conducted a Free Available Chlorine (FAC), Chloramines (Total Chlorine) test on the portable water we received from the pier services prior to our initial transfer of water and our test indicated the following:

Since the switch of water supply, children have gone 2 years without a clean water supply and there was no one to advocate or hear the voices of these children. It was not until

The issue is that people can't drink this water because the governor stopped doing the same process of cleaning the water . He wanted to save money and because of this he forgot to add a major chemical in the water. People had concerns about this water but the governor really didn't pay no mind to them , he just told them don't worry the water is safe keep drinking it not knowing

The local issue as described in the first Milestone submission is water quality. Independence is a rural area in southeast Kansas. With a population of 9,453 residents being reported in last year’s census reports of the town of Independence, you can imagine that it is a relatively small community when compared to even your hometown. This population total is significantly lower this year with the closing of the local hospital in December of last year, with a community lacking the basic necessity of an emergency room and medical testing facility, many residents have decided to make a change and move to a more stable area. With the closing of the hospital the city of Independence has decided to spend $3.5 million to renovate the vacant facility into a new city offices location, in an attempt to modernize the township and combine all of the city’s services into a central location. This decision was made by our local representatives because they felt this was the best way to spend the tax payer’s money, the irony of the situation is that the hospital needed $3.5 million to renovate the facility for themselves in order to pass the states medical inspection and remain open to the public.

For the past three years Flint, Michigan has been making headlines due to what seems like a never-ending water crisis. One day their water seems to be just fine, but then all of a sudden it’s contaminated and dirty; full of lead and fecal particles which will slowly begin to harm more people than imaginable. Hospital admissions skyrocket, school attendance numbers began to drop, and more and more adults are calling off of work because they’ve fallen ill. People begin to go without showers to help keep them “safe” from contamination, bottled water is now being used for not only drinking but also showering, mixing baby formulas, watering plants, etc. Major cost-cutting measures led to contaminated drinking water, lifelong health effects, and

This poisoning can affect the general health of a population. Unsafe water can lead to an increase in health problems, such as cancer. This can cause many case managers focusing on access to health care and treatments. Many of these health problems will result in end-of-life case management. Contaminated water can also cause physical and intellectual developmental delays.

I am hoping that you as our town manager take the concerns of the residents seriously. All we are asking is that our town follow the regulations regarding the safety of our drinking water if

The environmental issue of interest is clean drinking water and the abuse of our water sources. The interest in this discipline is because clean water and water abuse have been an issue for many years. Many countries around the world and in our own back yard lack clean drinking water. The cause of unclean water can be caused by bad agriculture practices and industrialization. The cause of these unhealthy practices may cause waters to be contaminated with a mineral called Chromium; this mineral exposes a high risk of cancer. The county of Gwinnett is full of lakes, rivers, streams, creeks and ponds but the only source of drinking water that is disposed to residents comes from a man-made lake called Lake Lanier. The lake provides clean drinking

There are many types of water filter to choose from that effectively pufiry the tap water, but none other compare to the whole house water filters for those who have children and who want to protect the little ones.

Three are some voices who say that a device like that will not only eliminate contaminants, but some healthy minerals as well. They say that human body needs those minerals, and drinking an extremely pure water which doesn't contain them, can actually create some sort of medical problems. Another drawback would be the costs. You will have to pay a large amount of money to buy the device, and you will also have to pay extra for the installation and maintenance. The perks and disadvantages of whole house water filters are important aspects that you need to have in mind before you actually go shopping. By doing so, you will be certain that the chose product is exactly what you need.

The current water fountains at Lawrenceburg High School are broken with poor filtration systems. The water fountains are also inconvenient for the students and the school. The current water fountains are costing the school more money, because the filtration is not effective and water is lost. The old water fountains pose many threats such as making students sick from improper sanitation and not allowing the students to get the appropriate amount of water they need throughout the day. The students can be late to class trying to find water, which will cut into their learning time. “Access to free, potable, and appealing drinking water in schools is important because children spend substantial time in school settings, and students may come to school already dehydrated” (Pantel). This text explains the importance of having proper water fountains in school. Students and faculty at Lawrenceburg High School need new water fountain, because it will be very beneficial to the school as a whole.

We are proposing cleaner water. there is a way to have this cleaner water if you want it, we can help. we will make things better. We propose water tanks filled with germ free water. to start, there will be one in every town along the river.
