WATER SCARCITY By:

Francisco Iturralde María Isabel Avilés

Water scarcity

Meaning:

Water scarcity when in somewhere there is no water. Or water is not clean for the basic human needs. Water can be transported by drinker. 1/8 of the room hospitals

are occupied by persons who doesn’t have access to clean water or they don’t. Water scarcity is one of the biggest global issue in the all the world because it

involve on everyone life, plants, animals, all the people that are around you like familiars and the future generations and that includes you. . In some parts of the planet they are very affected but one of the places that is most affected is India,

India is affected in because there are literally without water, other place that will be very affected are Las Vegas because they are consuming water on a very bad way so each citizen waste 80 liters daily. So we can be the next to end using so much water. Since it is so grave this situation and all the effects that are waiting for us are very bad and the solution will be very difficult to solve it but with you we can

start making the. So you and every one should be conscious and have knowledge of all of the things that can happened

Causes:

On water scarcity we need to know what we are doing to the world because water is going and if we aren’t conscious and al so if we don't see of what we are doing to the world, to all the people that are around us and that will be, and to us then we will never change. So on here there are some things that we do or one day we will do it.

Bad use of water

Many people use water on a bad way. Sometimes we let water go and go and we are not using it, for example when we are taking a shower sometimes we let water go while we are putting shampoo and we are not using on that moment the water. All so some people take an hour to take a shower so on that shower we use many water. One thing that is very bad to do is to make a spa because you are using more water than you need.

Deserts

Some deserts have become agriculture places, so for converting a part of the desert on an agriculture city that is a lot of water that they had use. So on that it is a lot of water that it have been used.

Agriculture

People use many water for agriculture because when the population starts to increase need to make more food and for producing more food the y need to use more water.

Effects:

The world is now facing one of the worst situations water scarcity, that is affecting to many people in the world, but in a time things will change and all of us will be one the same problem and without solution so know is our time to change and knowing all the consequences that are waiting for us . On many parts of the world people are sating without water because some reasons that we humans are causing

Population has been increasing on the last century, and the cities are starting to have no more water for all the people.

There are some persons that can even satisfied their basic needs for survive like to drink a glass of water clean that is good.

What can we do:

We can save water by no wasting it like do not take a shower of 30 minutes because that wanted water can be used by someone in the world that is dying

because of these. You can save water by not washing your car with a hose instead of that you can wash it with bowls full of water then you can wash more and have

the control of the water that you are wasting.

How to stop it:

We can stop it by be responsible and be aware of how many times you are wasting water and how much litters you are using. You can do a poster to expand

the global issue information.

How the planet is dealing with it:

I think that the earth id dealing with it like bad because it make no more evaporation and precipitation and so that is bad because there is no rain and

without rain there are fires all around the world, for example the fires the are on our country is thru that some of them are caused by bandits that ruin everything with a Molotov bomb. Other thing is that the planet is reacting bad because of the global

warming and that affect the water scarcity making more dry all the seasons.

Places were water scarcities are more common:

The places more common are in Middle East like India specially India. It also is common in places where are in remote places and there is hard to find water clean it is also common places to find it. Even in the US are places were water scarcity is

a huge problem like in the sierra of US there are similar casas of it. Also poor people that can’t access to clean water even in the big cities there exist these

problems.

Places where water scarcity is not a problem.

there are places in earth that have no suffer of this like new York city every stable citizen can access to it just by like walk that fast. In overpopulated cities even there

is rare to find cases with this like Dubai that is over populated and they no suffer nothing, even they build and island to make a space were to live. They don’t suffer

hungry they don’t suffer thirst on their mouths.

Animals affected:

The animals affected most are the mammals that need water to survive in the world. We die if we don’t have water on our environment. We are the most affected

because mammals in special humans need alt leas 6 or 7 litters peer day to live. We can live two weeks without eating but three days without water.

Conclusions:

On our conclusion is that people should know all the causes and consequences that can happened if we water scarcity is all around the world without any exemptions every one will die. The next generations when they grow up they will live without water that are one of our basic need for survive. And like the quote that says without water there is no life,
