Stockton's Water Pollution

In Elizabeth Royte’s essay, A Tall, Cold Drink of… Sewage? Royte uses her personal narrative about her trip to the Orange County Groundwater Replenishment System to tell the reader about the limited water problem in Orange County and how they the system is cleaning waste water to fix the problem. Royte’s augment is that clean water is clean water and it does not matter if the water started off as waste water if it is cleaned properly. Royte develops this argument by starting with a personal narrative about how she was thinking about the differences between the New York water-treatment plant and the one in Orange County, Califorina.

In the fourth chapter, “Fouling Our Own Nests,” of Unquenchable: America’s Water Crisis and What to do About It, Robert Glennon discusses the dangers of water contamination that plague many parts of the United States. His main claim that water pollution requires the help of the entire population stems from an unmentioned warrant: contaminating the national water supply with chemicals from individual communities and industries is detrimental to American society. In order to strengthen his argument, Glennon showcases the impacts of local contamination issues on larger populations and utilizes quantitatively intimidating statistics to solidify his position and inspire his readers to fight for better water regulation.

The Water In The Valley. If the water is contaminated by the airborne pollutants, whether by depositing through direct water surface contact or by depositing on land and being carried to water bodies through run off, the residents will face problems. Once in the water, these pollutants can cause the fish to poison people upon consumption, or the fish could die out. Harmful algal blooms could occur; the water will become contaminated and unsafe to drink. This might seem like an exaggeration but in the San Joaquin Valley, the threat is very real. One might say that the people of the San Joaquin Valley may depend on water more than people elsewhere. The residents need water more because many of them depend on having enough water for their jobs, not just for their consumption. Being one of the top agricultural industries, the San Joaquin Valley residents need to have plenty of water for their industry of choice, whether is be for watering their crops or keeping the cows ' food (grass) alive, to ensure that they will be able to bring in profit to the valley and be able to feed themselves and their families.

Water is one of the most important elements on Earth and also for our body. We need water to work and function properly and well. Without enough supply of water, our body will grind to a halt and collapse.

Actually, only one percent of the world's water has the capability of being used by us. About ninety-seven percent is salty seawater, and two percent is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. That only leaves one percent of the precious water that is to be used by not only people, but used by animals, plants, and food. Dehydration, which is the lack of water, will kill us faster than starvation, which is the lack of food. Since the plants and

The reason water is important to our bodies is because our bodies need water to function our organ systems do not function properly without the proper water intake. Water helps our kidneys to flush out waste and bacteria which can pose a threat to our bodies.

Every human cannot live without water.It has been known to be a natural remedy for different ailments.

Water is essential for life as we know it on earth. It is used by plants

Water is considered as an essential for human existence. We all can survive without food for some day but no one can live without water at least two days. Human body consists of 70% percent of water and our globe is covered by 69.9% percent of water. But unfortunately the useable fresh water is just 2.5% out of it. Water is a social good, water is an economic good, water has ecological value and water has religious, moral and cultural value.

Water is essential for life on earth. Water is needed for growing food, keeping ourselves clean, generating power, controlling fire and most importantly to stay alive! This list is simply non-ending. This shows that water is an integral part of our daily life and we are heavily dependent on it.

I am very honored to have the opportunity to be able to write you, your service is extremely appreciated by the Stockton community. We are blessed to having running water as other countries may not. I am sure you are aware of the contamination in our tap water. There are many healthy issues that come with the tap water. As studies have found, there is a toxic metal found in the tap water. This toxic chemical is known to cause health issues as well as cancer. Another toxic metal that is more that the safe amount is, Chromium 6, this can also increase the risk of cancer.

Water is the most valued and vulnerable natural resource that no living organism can survive without it. Maintaining the water’s quality is a very important task where all individuals involved must perform with at the highest standard of honesty, integrity, and responsibility. This is because of the fact that they have a direct impact to the society’s health. Usually, chlorination, adding doses of chlorine, is a common disinfection practice to kill any harmful microorganism in the water. However, with wrong calculations or improper managements in terms of using chlorination method can result in some serious problems. The case of Walkerton is an example of how reducing government budget, failing to maintain chlorine residual levels at the requirement, and continuing unprofessional practices for years—like altering reports—result in ethical violation that led to a horrible tragedy that shouldn’t happened.

Water is our main source of our life. We need it to live, drink, bathe,

Although the state of America’s water infrastructure is of great concern, the types of chemicals found in America’s tap water are equally as frightening. The passage of the Water Act in 1972 prevents the direct dumping of hazardous chemicals directly into waterways, and helps regulate quality standards of water. However, the Clean Water Act is has no jurisdiction on regulating indirect dumping of chemicals that integrates into water supplies. Pesticides and prescription drugs are the greatest cause for concern of indirect containments in America’s water supply (Olsen). An abundance of the harmful chemicals found in liquefied animals feces, used in large dairy states, have percolated into drinking wells that have caused serious infections (Duhigg). However, more harmful containments are infiltrating water supplies. Such containments include
