The Water Crisis Of North America

Water Runs Dry – North American Water Crisis Collectively the United States is ranked as the greatest consumers of water worldwide; a startling fact for a country that cannot support its own unrivaled demands (Barlow, 2007). The United States is now crucially dependent on nonrenewable groundwater for a staggering 50% of its daily water usage (Barlow, 2007). In addition to such formidable numbers, citizens of the United States use and waste up 80-100 gallons or 454 liters of water per day (Perlman

population is expected to face water shortages within the next nine years (Hanjra & Qureshi, 2010). This is likely to be the cause of conflicts and tensions between many nations, especially with the growing population, as water is a basic life necessity. To put the situation in perspective, a mere 2.5 percent of the world’s water supply is actually freshwater, and only about one percent is accessible for human use (Postel, Daily & Ehrlich, 1996).

life with limited water or not having any water at all. For many people, they wouldn’t survive or know how to go about life with this limitation. Water is a necessity to life, no matter where someone comes from or is currently living. Flint, Michigan, and Africa are just two of these places that are being affected currently by water. Many people do not know about Flint, Michigan having a water crisis currently unless they are from around that area and many don’t know how limited water resources are in

Throughout the past few years, Fruitvale has been experiencing a severe water crisis. The banned pesticide "No-Bug" contaminated the north end of Fruitvale. Recently, the contaminate has been spreading near the Fruitvale Municipal Water Well. If the water well gets contaminated, Fruitvale would be without a reliable, clean water source. A common and safe method for contaminated water clean up is Pump and Treat. Pump and Treat pumps groundwater from the effected wells to an above-ground treatment

Analysis and comparisons of several water-supply alternatives for North-west China Introduction: The world’s semi-arid and arid regions are located mainly in North Africa, the Middle East, as well as South Asia. There are also isolated arid areas in Australia, parts of South America and the southern part of North America (Clarke, 1991, p.13). In this report, the problems of arid regions in China will be studied and analysed. The reasons for choosing China as a research target are because the rapid
