Water Scarcity Of Water Pollution

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

     Keeping the pollution to a minimal isn’t the easiest thing in the world to do. The major water pollutants are chemical, biological, or physical materials that

Climate change is arguably the greatest threat to humanity and the worst of it’s effects are fast approaching. It is the basis of a myriad of problems, one of which is water scarcity. As the world population grows and the climate warms, demand for fresh water has surged-- with water scarcity affecting more than 40 percent of the global population (United Nations, 2010). Conversely, the world’s fresh water supplies are dropping. Water is indispensable to biotic existence. While it aided in humankind's creation, it can also aid in its downfall. Bearing these elements in mind, one can consider the implications of this water crisis: What are the threats to its quality? Who will it affect? Is water a right or a commodity? What are the social, economic, and political variables and how do they connect? And ultimately, how can we fix this? Throughout my research I seek the answers to these critical questions.

The population hugely outnumber the amount of water we have here in San Diego. The water that we buy in bottled from other places we do not know the contents of that water. The water may have a label and tells us this and that, but the truth is they don’t have to tell us everything that is in the water. The water here in San Diego is tested daily and monitored closely. Maybe people should consider drinking our tap water. All we have to do is by filters, though we can’t always test our tap water in our homes we can do our part to help protect ourselves. All the plastic that we are putting in our oceans are killing our animals. This hurts our food chain and makes harder for animals we need to survive to thrive. By buying less bottled water we not only help ourselves, we help our environment.

Did you know that every year millions of wastes are dumped into the ocean? Ocean pollution has become an increasing issue throughout the years. Water is a necessity for everyone. The planet is made up of 70 percent water. People use water consistently in their everyday lives. There are so many ways water is used. Its needed to stay hydrated, during the summer it gets used for swimming and water sports. Its needed to wash almost everything; individuals use it to stay clean, cook, wash dishes, dogs, and cars, and so much more. So what happens when something so important becomes unavailable because it has been contaminated or has been polluted? Water now becomes dangerous, a threat to life. It’s no longer useful and valuable. Continue reading to learn when water pollution was realized as an issue. Also, how are other countries reducing the amount of pollution in the water. Have you ever wondered what effect polluted water has on the animal that call the deep blue sea its home? Finally, you will learn about the organizations that were created to protect our ocean from pollution.

Environmental issues have been a big problem since the 70’s, we were warned that if we continued to treat the planet as we already were, and there would be consequences not only on the planet but humans as well. Human beings are continuously destroying the planet and in the process wasting water; yet demanding that we have fresh water for everyone. “By 2050, the global population will demand roughly 80 percent more energy and 55 percent more water than today” (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/adnan-z-amin/the-intersection-of-water_b_8031834.html.) Water covers about 75 percent of the earth and this gets divided into ponds, lakes and rivers. If humans were to lose water as a resource that would have a huge effect on a great many things. We would

My logical points revolve around the fact that water pollution is a bad thing. Humans depend on clean water for drinking, bathing, and doing recreational things (especially the people of Iowa with all of the activities they do on the river during the summer months). Much of the pollution problem

Pollution comes in many forms. In the ocean we dump a variety of substances, including human wastes, chemicals from fertilizers, oil, and trash such as plastic which all contribute to the growing issue of our ocean pollution. In addition to, our usable waters are finite. More than 97.5 percent of the water on this planet is undrinkable salt water; the remaining 2.5 percent has two-thirds of the usable fresh water locked up in glaciers, snow, and permafrost. Of the one-third of freshwater that is available for human use, 20 percent is used for industrial use. (“Water Pollution”) “In effect, water pollution reduces the volume of water available

People contaminate water by adding chemicals and other harmful substances. For example having lead, zinc, mercury, copper, etc. in water can lead to illnesses such as polio, typhoid fever, polyomavirus infection and many more. Water is a very important element on earth and we need to keep it clean. Over two thirds of Earth’s surface is covered in water; less than a third is taken up with land. As Earth's population continues to grow, people are putting ever-increasing pressure on the planet's water resources. Without water there would be no oceans, no lakes, and no rivers. We all need water to survive, so when people throw their trash in and pollute the water, they don’t understand what their actions will do to us in the future and what harm

Although water is one of the most abundant resources on the planet, we are not able to utilize the majority of it. Ninety-eight percent of water on Earth is found in the oceans, while the remaining two percent of water is renewable. Although this may be true, irrecoverable sources, such as glaciers and underground aquifers, trap nearly all renewable water (Cooper, “Global” 2). In a final tally, less than one fourth of one percent of the water on Earth is both renewable and recoverable. Even more frightening is the fact that this supply of water is not only nominal but also polluted. By disregarding the fact that our supply of water is finite, we are further limiting this supply by throwing pollution into the equation. Nevertheless, a dwindling amount of freshwater is not the only concern. Pollution in aquatic environments contributes to shifts in the Earth 's atmosphere—infamously known as climate change. To put this phenomenon into perspective, the temperature of the ocean has gradually increased by 0.11 degrees Celsius per decade from the years 1971 to 2010 (Weeks 12). By polluting Earth 's aquatic environments, future

Human rights ensures that the basic needs of a human are provided equally to all individuals regardless of monetary stature, religion or race (Spronk, 2014) Access to clean water should be a human right because without water there would be no human life on this planet. However, not every human is blessed with the access to clean water. Moreover, the lack of clean water is transforming from a limitation to an enormous threat (Spronk, 2014). Therefore, this paper will look into the water war that happened in Bolivia, and other Latin American countries such as Argentina, and shine a light on neoliberalism and capitalism. The paper will also provide some suggestion on how to prevent the privatization of water, and lastly, will look into the aftermath of Bolivia 's water war, and whether or not it met the MDGs. Furthermore, water is a natural resource that should not be bought or privatized by companies because it does more harm than good. For example, in Cochabamba, Bolivia, it caused a water war movement that killed the lives of many, and although the war ended and water was no longer privatized, it still left a permanent scar that will never be forgotten.

Recently, water scarcity is a critical issue that has been increasing human attention. Unfortunately, approximately one-fifth people who suffer from water scarcity (FAQ, 2007:P.4) that meant people who live a region is below 1000 m³ per year Pereira(2009). On the other hand, this situation has not changed; likewise, it become more serious due to population growth as well as pollution that lead the residents have not enough water in daily life. Therefore, the following paper would analysis the cause and the effects of the water shortage.

Years of thoughtless exploitation and consumption of environment by mankind has resulted in the effects staring in our face now. More and more potentially devastating environmental problems come up and affect various nations worldwide. But many people have trouble recognizing why a resource that seems infinite, is actually, scarce. Humans have already put excessive pressure on the environment; especially the scarcity and pollution of water, which leading to tensions. There is no time for us to wait until the last drop of water in the earth become our tear. In order to make the world a better place, we need to find

Lingering water scarcity has been in our global forecast for years. Although water accessibility fluctuates from country to country, climate change, environmental factors and population growth have intensified the dwindling of freshwater worldwide. As a result, tensions have emerged between users nationally and internationally, especially in areas where water reservoirs overlap recognized territorial boundaries. It goes without saying that water shortages eventually result in food shortages and of course deprivation to the expanding cities. Recently, awareness has risen that freshwater globally needs to be protected, so that this crisis does not worsen and steps are taken to prevent sudden emergencies. Such as the one occurring now in California. Technical solutions will only be adequate if accompanied by sensible scientific research of the problem and corrective measures are implemented in a minimal costly way. Worldwide, we need to start thinking about solutions to balance the increasing depletion of our residual freshwater supplies and hopefully devise some methods to increase the depleted residual aquifers. Otherwise we are going have serious consequences.
