Also the solution of the water crisis like constructing dams and wells, rationalize the consumption of water, and the building of the filtration stations for water.

Abstract
Years of war have left the Lebanese water sector in a very bad shape. This has caused excessive water waste in practically all aspects of water consumption. As Lebanon wastes water, its neighbors are desperately seeking to secure their water needs. Consequently, this paper proposes investing sovereign wealth funds to assist in developing an efficient water network to maximize the efficiency of the Lebanese water sector. Such investments would be made for the purpose of creating a large enough water surplus in Lebanon.

Introduction
Water is one of the most important substances on earth. Ultimately, as it is a substance essential to life itself, it is the world’s duty to ensure that every drop is utilized and to the maximum of its abilities. We should not forget that this substance is still sustaining life on planet earth. Some organisms are made up of 95% water, while almost all the rest are more than 50% water. Water is being consumed by humans in every aspect from drinking and bathing purposes to producing crops, supporting livestock and fish farms, shipping goods, generating electricity etc. Yet climate change is producing profound changes in this

    Harper Lee once said, “Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncobs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.”…

    It makes up approximately 70 percent of the Earth that we inhabit. You may find yourself “up to the neck in it” at any given point, seeing as humans can be composed almost entirely of it. Water is all around us, and is essential to the ongoing cycle of life. Although water may seem abundant throughout the Earth and atmosphere; the amount of clean, useable water is an everyday crisis for some of the drought stricken, less fortunate countries. While the Oceans hold roughly 97% of the water on Earth, making it saline, humans are left to raise weapons over the mere 3% we have to use as fresh water. From that 3%, about 70% of that is frozen in the glaciers and ice caps, making it out of commission too (Fig. 1). It is clear and unfortunate that drinkable water is a resource that can be hard to come by in certain environments. The aim of this paper is to depict and examine the impacts of warfare on clean water in Afghanistan, and to identify ways of alleviating those impacts. There are many factors related to the war that affect Afghans accessibility to clean water. Dilapidated water infrastructure with little service to the public results in leakage and contamination of useable water. Streams and canals that were improperly designed and received substantial destruction result in poor water flow to farmlands. The constant search for useable water drinks wells dry, making clean water seem like a luxury to the poorest parts of Afghanistan who rely on groundwater as their only source of water. The quandary of drought exceedingly cuts into agricultural production, where it was once possible to farm rain-fed crops without having to worry about the severe lack of water. Introducing and carrying out new strategies and campaigns to help cope with dehydrated communities is essential to the recovery of Afghanistan’s water crisis. Proper infrastructure and legal water distribution organizations are needed to mitigate some of the affects caused by…

    As earth’s most valued resource moves further into scarcity, water privatization has become a fear for those who cannot afford its high prices, turning water into a privilege rather than a right. People all over the world have witnessed a shift in water accessibility as droughts continue to occur, and access to a reliable source of water is not as common as it once was. As water consumption is set to exceed supply by over 30% around 2040 (Interlandi, 68), multinational companies have taken it upon themselves to help curb the consumption of water by setting high costs that are often pricing people out around the globe. For instance, As the Jeneen Interlandi stated, “As the crisis worsens, companies like True Alaska that own the rights to vast…

    To begin reducing global warming, we must make an effort to conserve and protect our limited clean water resources in order to ensure the future of this vital source of life. We must always remember that ninety-seven percent of all water on earth is salt water. Only three percent of remaining water on earth is fresh, and, of that three percent, only one percent is suitable for drinking, so we must treat it as a precious commodity. Since the world's population stands at seven billion people, and is quickly moving to ten billion before mid-century, it only makes sense that we must take action now to preserve and protect our limited water supplies.…
