Water Controversies Boil Over Summary

Matt Weiser’s article “Water Controversies Boil Over” from Sacramento Bee’s opinion column explains how the world’s bad management of water has led to scarcity. Weiser claims that human’s careless behavior with water is going to cause a war. He validates his argument with facts from the World WAter Forum, U.N Environment Programme, and International Alert to support his reasoning. California is a prime example as to why violent conflicts could happen over water. Water is a necessity for life, and that could be stopped by wasteful usage of water. There already is an unsaid strain on North Californians and Southern Californians. Almost all of Northern California’s water is given to Southern California or any type of agricultural productions.
