Water Treatment Systems Should Be Banned

There is a water crisis which faces many parts of the world and it is a threat to survival of human beings since humans are primarily dependent on water. Shortage in drinking water is beginning to show its effects in first world countries, but is a current major problem facing lesser developed countries which have not taken drastic steps to harvest water and purify it to make it safe for human consumption. In developed countries the population growth has strained available water resources and stretched the ability of governments and private firms to provide safe drinking water to the vast majority of the population. Seventy one percent of

Everyday, billions of people use water all over the world. They use water in drinks and food. They use water for bathing and hygiene. They use water in agriculture and industry. They use water for so many things. However, there are many problems with the usage of water around the world. In his editorial, “Our Water System: What a Waste”, Michael E. Webber explains how America has a water problem, and how that problem can be solved.

According to (" UN-Water”) 783 million people do not have access to clean drinking water. The majority of people living in America have plenty of access to clean drinking water and often take that opportunity for granted . The lack of water in undeveloped countries can have a major effect on the economy. Countries that Have clean drinking water means being able to shower, cook, drink, water that can also be used for agriculture. Undeveloped countries with unclean water do not have these benefits

As a mere second-grader I remember learning the definition of ‘essential’, along with a list of items essential to the human body, one of those items being water. Living on a planet that consists of approximately 71 percent water, it only makes sense that each of Earth’s inhabitants have access to water. Unfortunately not everything that makes sense is realistic. Many third world countries have little to no access to water and in America we have experienced several issues of water contamination. The most recent and tragic incident involving water contamination occurred in Flint, Michigan. Due to economic issues government officials switched to a cheaper water resource that was known to be very dirty. Officials failed to adhere to federal policy in treating the new water source, sending lead and iron filled water into the homes of thousands causing several cases of lead poisoning. Although I've never experienced a full blown water crisis the incident in Flint troubles me.

At the beginning of 21st century, droughts and contamination of water around the world were having a huge impact on the quality of life, a decrease of crop production, decrease in drinkable water, and the economy as a whole. In Flint, Michigan, the corrosion of water pipes (resulting from a switch in the water supply) lead to a contamination of the water. Lead seeped into the water, then E. Coli was found, and later on, Flint’s water failed to pass the standards set by the Safe Drinking Water Act when byproducts of chemical purifiers were found. Flint still does not have full access to clean drinking water (Kennedy, 2016). At times like these, people need a way to cheaply purify and, sometimes, desalinate water so they can survive. For most

Water is an essential part of life. While most people are fortunate enough to have stable access to it, others are not blessed with it and have to use unsanitary and other unhealthy alternatives. Areas such as India and even in the United States in Flint, Michigan suffer from a bad water supply to this day, the modern era.

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

Over 2.3 billion more people have gained access to an improved source of drinking water since 1990, but 748 million people still draw their water from an unimproved source

37 countries have started thinking this way, but the majority of countries in this world have not been thinking in this way. Another critiques is that millions of dollars have been funded to establish water markets and give water to scarce water regions in the world, but what about poor countries that are dumping waste, chemicals, and other run offs from factories, making the water undrinkable, and make people sick if they drink it, are there other funds and money going to countries that have to deal with this on a daily basis. Is there a way to eliminate this problem? I believe that every human on this planet should have access to clean drinking water for free. Will making water a tradable asset really reach this goal of clean drinking water for all? This article does demonstrate that things are going in the right direction unlike in years before. Without water the world would not exist, wasting water hurts everybody in the world. If everybody can do their part by conserving water, water can be sustainable years and years to

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

Drinking water is our most precious resource, something every human being needs to survive. Yet today over 1.2 billion people a day on average do not have access to drinking water. Even if they might have this access, the chances are good that the drinking water is polluted with many contaminants. In the future, we will probably find that clean drinking water will go to the highest bidder, and even more people will find themselves without easy access to drinking water.

Water, otherwise known as H2O, is an odorless & tasteless liquid essential in life, that supplies nutrients and allows species to continue to exist on this very Earth. It helps with functionality of the human body by regulating temperature, brain energy, muscles, relieving headaches etc. In modern times, 71 % of the Earth 's surface is covered with water while oceans hold over 96.5 % of all Earth 's water. It can be found just about anywhere from rivers and lakes to icecaps and glaciers, in the ground, and even in humans and other animals. Nearly 57 to 60% of water is found in an adult body while in infants 75 to 78% of water is found. We depend heavily on water for survival everyday. As humans, we can survive only a month without food and only a week without water, which is why it’s crucial that we maintain proper filtrations and purifications of our water systems nationwide. Globally, The United States of America (since the early 1950’s) is the only country that uses Fluoride in their water in order to lower amounts of tooth decay unlike other countries ( although such health benefits haven’t been proven nor approved by the FDA). Difficulties supplying purified water are becoming a growing concern worldwide , many of those lacking access to safe-drinking water is prone to transmitting diseases, such as cholera, due to the insufficiency of adequate sanitation. Unfortunately, only 1% of water is drinkable making it strenuous for countries to truly assure that their

Access to clean water is a basic human right and yet people around the world don’t have that right and they struggle to survive without it. The many uses of clean and potable water include water for drinking to cooking other daily purpose. It is reported that over 1.1 billion people lack access to an improved water resource and three million individuals, and majority of them children, suffer and die from water-related disease. The need to improve water quality and providing clean water should be major project for developed countries like the US and so called “well developed countries”.

Every day Americans depend on public water systems to treat and deliver over 44 billion gallons of water to homes daily (“Importance of Clean Water”). However, Americans

In today 's world billions of people do not have access to the clean water they need. They either have to travel miles to get clean water or they have to settle for the unsafe water near them. Water is polluted daily by trash and waste chemicals. There is an island made from trash in the Pacific Ocean and each day it continues to grow. Communities of people die each year for drought, life that could otherwise be saved if only they had access to water. It is possible to stop all these deaths from occurring altogether and to save billions of people from needless deaths.
