Water Is An Essential For Health, Hygiene And The Productivity Of The World

The earth is the only planet suitable for human being and other livings things to live on as of present time. Globally, ground water resources dwarf surface water supplies. Study has estimated 900 million people lack access to safe drinking water and sanitation in the world (1). Unfortunately, many millions die each year from preventable waterborne diseases. Clean water is globally important to human being in so many ways, water is not only important as an element to hydrate and nurture lives, it is also a source of energy.

Water and its properties are very essential for all living things. In fact, scientists are paying close attention to presence of liquid water on other planets in efforts to find extraterrestrial life in space. Water has properties that makes it a key role to sustain life 1. As it is a universal solvent, it acts as a medium for most biochemical reactions 2. Without water, it is impossible for a living thing to function. Zooming out, water is important in daily life as many aspects depend on water. Water is used for domestic and industrial purposes. On average, people in the United States drink 110 million gallon of water everyday 3. In total, 400 billion gallon of water is used in United states everyday 4.

The inequality when it comes to water scarcity is unacceptable and it does not meet the criteria for Reasonable Access to Clean water for multiple reasons. It is believed that 780million people lack access to clean water and another 2.5 Billion people lack access to improved sanitation (so they only have enough to drink and nothing else). Reasonable access to clean water should mean that water is offered at the lowest possible price so that more people can afford it but it is often in the poorest countries that the water they need is more expensive and harder to access and it is often due to avoidable causes.

All around the world, countries are fighting to keep their drinking water clean. Whether it’s streams, rivers, or lakes, countries have taken great measures to maintain high quality drinking water for both human consumption and animal consumption. Countries must first understand the sources of the polltion, then determine the best methods to eliminate the pollution. Clean drinking water is a valuable resource and a the key to human survival. Plants and animals also depend on water for their growth, so all water must be kept clean. The major contributors to water pollution can be classified in three categories, industrial, agricultural and municipal.

How many of you, when you go to a restaurant and the waiter/waitress asks you what you want to drink ask for water?

Millions of people throughout the world, especially those in third world countries, do not have access to clean drinking water. Throughout the world, there are many countries that do not have the means to provide safe drinking water to their entire population. Drinking non-purified water can lead to many illnesses and in some cases death. Having been to India, just one of the countries with limited access to clean drinking water, I have seen and experienced these problems first hand.There are many products and processes that help address this problem. These solutions range from low tech solutions, like repairing old wells, to the high-tech solutions like personal water purifiers that filter the water as you walk. While these solutions are possible,

Thesis statement: Fresh and clean water is vital to the very existence of the human race.

Incredible water shortage in the Middle East region has compelled countries to reuse this water for many purposes. Treated wastewater can be used in agriculture, industry, recharging aquifers (Middle East Water Shortage). This method leads to conservation of traditional sources of water which further can be used “for meeting the demand for higher-quality water such as that for drinking, or for high value-added industrial and agricultural uses.” Also the climate fickleness’ influence will lessen by means of reuse. But there are few problems connected with leading treatment into usage. One of them are health and environmental risks (Baroudy 2005, 25-35). Purified in such way water contains bacteria, viruses and parasites (Middle East Water Shortage). Use of treated water can cause different infectious and gastrointestinal diseases. According to Baroudy even contact with this water sometimes can cause allergies and other dermatological illnesses (2005, 25-35). Another problem is that this water has some biological and chemical matter dissolved in it, which can obstruct soil pores. Clogged soil has less ability for leaking which leads to bad irrigation efficiencies (Middle East Water Shortage). But, of course, some standards with the purpose to limit these effects were elaborated. Toughening standards require financial investments (Baroudy 2005, 25-35). Process of waste treatment requires special equipment and construction of special water treatment

Fresh water is a vital resource that has been on everyone’s minds around the world for a number of years. We are always in demand of clean drinking water and globally there are millions of people who have little to no access to any. It was discovered that icebergs contain huge amounts of fresh water, a seemingly untapped resource that could be taken advantage of. In 1980, Terry Spragg constructed an idea to transport icebergs across the ocean in order to use this source of clean water.

Earth truly is an amazing planet, it hosts vast amounts of diverse species and variety of environments that makes life possible, livable and scientifically, the reason why we are here today. We, humans with our advancements in science and technology, have the ability to create the genetic materials in replacement for natural ones, develop cures for diseases, learn and communicate with a touch of our fingertips, the capability to build complex air shuttles that can explore to outer space and soon to land and study a planet different from ours. As we gain more knowledge about life outside earth, one of the main elements scientist look for when examining and exploring a possible substitute for our dear planets is water. “Water is life. It's the briny broth of our origins, the pounding circulatory system of the world, a precarious molecular edge on which we survive. It makes up two-thirds of our bodies, just like the map of the world; our vital fluids are saline, like the ocean. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.” (Water Is Life, 2017) For this reason, the element that I selected from the material cycle that we have studied is water.

According to the WHO, Globally, at least 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces. Public health is dependent upon safe and accessible water. Water is consumed daily commercially and domestically. Water is an indispensable basic human necessity, which needs to be consumed every day for survival. However, water has wider impacts on health and well-being and improved water supply and sanitation as well as stronger management of resources can help individuals and whole communities flourish economically and may contribute to a decrease in poverty (who,2017). There are many obstacles that must be addressed to meet the priority of improved water access. Many communities are restricted by minimal coverage, inferior quality, insufficient quantity, poor continuity and excessive cost (who,2017). Water quality isn’t the only determinant of public health; however, it has great influence on public health, particularly waters microbiological quality a vital key in preventing people from becoming ill (who,2017).

By making water purification processes more efficient, the number of casualties caused by unsanitary water will significantly drop. The purpose of this document is to inform the reader about the essentials of water purification; it is organized by the trend of the topic, typically by the types of processes. According to the UN, more than 2.5 billion people worldwide don’t have access to a clean water source. That’s more than 35% of the world’s population that is dying off because of this problem. By purifying the water and making potable water, this problem will soon cease to exist.

Water is an essential commodity for human development. Unfortunately, many communities experience the lack of quality water resources. The aim of this paper is to describe and consider the most common water supply challenges facing many communities and their consequences for firefighting. The paper presents some demonstrations of the primary water supply difficulties leveraging communities. The consequences of these water supply difficulties on firefighting capabilities are suggested in this paper. Recommendations to improve community water supply and firefighting methods are provided.

Managing water resources is a challenge that is faced by societies all over the world. Next to oxygen, water is by far one of the most important contributing factors to one’s health and well-being. The average person cannot survive more than a few days without water. Not only is it important to the human body but it serves a vital role in a country’s economic health as well. Societies must tap into various sources in order to provide its residents with a healthy water supply. Lakes, reservoirs, aquifers and rivers are only a few sources used to supply communities with the sustenance they need to live their every day lives. People depend on and trust that their government will provide them with clean, drinkable water. They pay taxes and elect officials whose sole responsibility is to serve and protect the people of that community. What happens when that trust is betrayed? How can the structural integrity of a failing government be rebuilt and redeemed? These were some of the challenges Michigan continues to face during the Flint Water Crisis.

Water is essential for everything. Water is what makes earth the only planet capable of sustaining life. Any civilization on earth needs a certain amount of water to sustain life. That is why drought is such a major concern. Drought and climate change have become well-known topics, especially in recent years. Water conservation and consumption are extremely important topics when discussing drought. Even more important is water consumption in the drought ridden states of southwestern United States. People need to understand what causes drought and what should be done to help lessen the effects of drought. Drought and water scarcity are causing children in developing countries to become fatally dehydrated; are we willing to let it get this far right here in the United States?
