Water Scarcity Of Clean Water

Water scarcity is an environmental problem that reaches around the globe. This lack of water is called the World Water Crisis. In the U.S, people are privileged enough to be able to use clean water for many things. However, the U.S is effected by water scarcity as well as countries who are underdeveloped and aren 't as privileged as we are. Only 2.5 percent of Earth 's water is fresh water, of which industrial uses account for 22 percent of available fresh water, domestic use requires only 8 percent, and the rest-over two-thirds of our demand-is used for agriculture. Water is said to be a right for all living things, however, many underdeveloped countries in the world, such as Ghana or Rajasthan, are victims of corporations who come

The US can be a leader in the fight for water equality by formally declaring water a human right. The US is in a unique position, because we have already done so much to aid people in water-stressed regions. This experience will be invaluable in escalating our efforts to secure the natural human right to clean and sustainable water for our allies in Sub-Saharan Africa. We can dedicate our vast resources and capable personnel in innovative and strategic ways to this most noble of all causes to bring prosperity abroad and secure it for posterity at home.

Nearly half the states in the U.S. are abnormally dry. This is a situation that will be happening until the world ends. By 2025, an estimated 1.8 billion people will live in areas plagued by water scarcity, with two-thirds of the world's population living in water-stressed regions as a result of use, growth, and climate change (“Clean Water Crisis, Water Crisis Facts, Water Crisis Resources”). This is something very serious to think about. We will be looking this problem directly in the face in less than 10 years unless we all make a conscious effort to significantly cut down on the amount of water we use. For a lot of third world countries, this water shortage problem is something that affects daily life. 319 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa are without access to improved reliable drinking water sources (The Water Project). That's more people living without adequate water conditions, than the total population of the United States in 2014. As an American myself, the

Water is the source of all life it is part of the plant‘s ingredients to make glucose and helps all animal and human get hydrated. Water help us stay alive but it also could kill us if the water isn’t fresh or clean. In the United State we have the technology to help us filter and clean water to a molecular level. While we have the technology and the resource to help us get clean water there are parts of the world that don’t and they need our help. These countries that don’t have the resource have to look for water but the water in the areas are contaminated and are not drinkable. They must dig to find water from the ground that is fresh and clean but they also have to build the wells that take time, resources, and money. These counties need

The Algerian Sahara is one of the hottest and driest place in the world, covers na area of more than two million square kilometers and extends from the Sahara Atlas mountains to the Malian, Nigerian and libyan borders. This is a vast territory with a population estimated at three million and half inhabitants.

Water is an essential resource to sustain life. From 50 - 90 percent of the weight of living organisms is water. Water is the major constituent of living matter. Water, essential for growth of all crops, is the natural resource in shortest supply. More than 20 countries lack sufficient water to grow enough food for their people. The situation is getting worse as needs for water rise along with population growth, urbanization and increases in household and industrial uses. According to a UN report two-thirds of mankind will suffer moderate to severe water crisis within next 30 years if remedial steps are not taken. World Bank report estimates 5 million deaths from unsafe drinking water and investments to the tune of $ 600 billion worldwide

One of the most controversial issues today relates drinking water. It could be defined as drinkable water or potable water which is safe enough for drinking and food preparation (Charitywater.org, 2016). Many people argue that some countries are meeting rising problems of not having enough drinking water. For example in Africa, a lot of people suffer and die daily from various diseases because they have unclear, dirty, contaminated water. This essay partly agrees with this statement and will illustrate this issue in term of how important the water is, the causes of getting less clear drinking water, two technological solutions which is waters desalination and groundwater wells and how to apply these solutions to Chad in Africa.

The effect climate change has on the water supply impacts the entire world.1 Water is required for growing crops, raising livestock, and provides energy.2 Water scarcity impacts international stability, regional security, and the economy. The resource of water creates a significant security challenge for the US.

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.

Access to clean drinking water I believe is a basic human right. If we intentionally removed water from a group of animals and only gave out a rationed portion, that could be considered animal abuse or neglect. It is not acceptable to allow people to use contaminated water, no matter where in the world clean water is necessary. On the other hand, I have been to impoverished countries and have seen first hand some of those people who do not have potable water, and many times it has to due with were the decide to live. Many villages in rural Afghanistan do not have wells and ave to travel several miles with large containers to the nears river in order to have water. However, the river is

In the world today, water scarcity persists in being an unnerving issue. The world’s supply of water is diminishing and is further narrowed by pollution. Without measures taken to conserve our water, there will be a global and chronic drought. As long as water is scarce, it is imperative to develop proposals concerning water conservation and pollution.

As the worlds population grows, it is forced by circumstances that it has created to face the limitations of the worlds resources. Most people in the US have always been fortunate enough to have enough of whatever they wanted. When something they like breaks or wears out, they throw it away or buy a new one, and they often don’t even make an attempt to repair an item. They neglect basic maintenance until they damage their belongings beyond repair, and expect that they’ll always have enough. But some things are beyond their control, beyond there power or financial ability to replace or repair. The world’s drinking water supply is one of these without concern, without attention, without preventative maintenance and reclamation and

Due to increasing demand for water, the world has been faced with a water crisis. The rising human population and unsustainable environmental practices has made clean freshwater a rare commodity. Developing countries are impacted the most by the water crisis. In the 20th century the global population increased threefold and triggered a simultaneous sixfold increase in water use (Bogardi, 2012). Water usage has likely increased due to extended droughts, population growth, more strict health regulations, and competing demands from a variety of users (Savage, 2005). Developed countries like the United States have been able to keep up with the increasing water demands by creating larger infrastructures and using legal means to regulate water consumption. However, many developing countries lack the capital needed to create the infrastructures needed to provide clean water. Additionally, developing countries often lack an impartial and efficient legal system that can enforce water rights and water regulations.

Water is a necessity for all life forms. However we exist in a world where clean water is guaranteed to every person. It seems something so important would be supplied by the government for its people. There's a lot of places that can't guarantee its own people the things needed to survive. Living in the United states people don't think this is a prominent problem that exists. However recently in Flint Michigan they had a water crisis that affected a massive amount of people who had thought their water was perfectly fine. California's water shortage is another example of people even in the ‘first world’ having problems with obtaining drinking water. These hardships are nowhere in comparison to the hardships faced in other countries. The problem's root seems to be caused by the people who need it most, humans.

Many people oppose the idea of the seriousness of water pollution. Many argue that the water supply for consumption is enough and that there will be no water shortage. “Peak Water” is a term used for a global water shortage (The Environment), so people who consider that the water supply is not going to end use this in their favor. They say that thinking that water is going to be scarce In the future is silly, that people are being peak water alarmists, because there is enough water for everyone, it’s just that there needs to be a way to get to that water. The argument is that water trapped underground and the developing of new ways and technologies to have the ocean water go through a process of desalinization and become usable for people is the reason why there will never be a water shortage. All of this would seem to make the fight for water pollution pointless because if there are more ways to get to water then there would be no issues with fresh water shortages. Other opposing arguments are that people do not have the money to prevent water pollution from happening. In this case it would be farmers who have to use pesticides for some of their crops. Most farmers would not have in mind that the pesticides they use will end up affecting water supplies miles away, and even if they did they would not be able to purchase a system that could contain the chemical runoff because they simply cannot afford it. The cost of having something that can properly treat water pollution
