Water is tasteless, odorless, and colorless; yet is intimately ingrained into the workings of our planet. All life ceases to exist without clean water. Although a simple concept, the implications of sustainability are growing exponentially complex. The water crisis is real, it is global, and it is now.…
After reading this essay, I came to the conclusion that we should pay more care to how we use water because it’s a precious resource, one that may seem plentiful to many of us, but it’s rare enough in some areas of the world. Let us not take water for granted, let us preserve it before it’s too…
It takes less than a week for a human to die from lack of water. Water is the single most important substance on the planet; without it, life could not exist. It's as necessary for humans as oxygen. Unfortunately, the amount of fresh, clean water that is readily available for human use is diminishing at an alarming rate. Currently, one sixth of the world's population, over one billion people, do not have access to adequate drinking water. What's more, corporations and other private entities are buying up the world's fresh water and charging for it. If this is allowed to continue, many people will not have access to what fresh water remains because they will not be able to afford it.…
At the World Water Forum, the key message was: There is probably enough fresh water available to meet human needs, despite climate change and population growth. However, the problem is poor management of water, which results in scarcity and conflict. I agree with this message that was brought up during the forum because there can still be a good amount of water for everyone, it's just some people take for granted that they waste the water and they think that’s not making a negative impact on the world. If they just keep on doing what they are doing our water supply will decrease drastically.…
According to UNICEF about 2.5 billion people around the world do not have access to clean water. In the U.S. 40% of rivers and 46% of lakes are so polluted/contaminated that they are considered unhealthy for swimming and too contaminated for fishing. The water is so contaminated that there are usually no aquatic life living in it. Even though some people believe that water contamination is inevitable and will be impossible to stop, water contamination is still a serious problem worldwide because chemical waste contaminates the water which poison fish that end up being pass down the food chain to us humans and water contamination spreads deadly diseases which causes about 2 million deaths per year.…
Thomas Fuller, an English author, once wrote, “We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.” Humans are not the only organisms dependent on water for survival. Plants, animals, and the entire planet Earth are dependent on water. The Earth is made up mostly of water, but only three percent of that water can be considered fresh enough for human consumption. With only three percent of the Earth’s water able to be consumed, it is imperative that the cleanliness of the water be sustained by all humans.…
Water regardless of its quality and quantity contains plenty of freshwater on earth, water has not always been available when and where it is needed, nor is always of suitable quality for all uses. Water must be considered as a finite resource and it has both its limits and boundaries to its availability and suitability for use due to pollution.…
Water is probably the most important resource we as people have. Humans can survive without food for several weeks, but without water we would die in less than a week. On a slightly less dramatic note, millions of liters of water are needed every day worldwide for washing, irrigating crops, and cooling industrial processes, not to mention leisure industries such as swimming pools and water-sports centers. Despite our dependence on water, we use it as a dumping ground for all sorts of waste, and do very little to protect the water supplies we have.…
Humans consume water, discard it, poison it and waste it without considering the consequences. Supplying enough water in the right quantity, at the right time and in the right place has always been a concern. All of life depends on water. It is as important to life as air, food and sunlight. For this reason water has always played an important role in civilizations throughout history. People can live for days without food but will not survive for very long without water. The problem with water is that there is the same amount now as there was in pre-historic times and no way to make anymore of it.…
Water is the one of the most important resources in the world because it is vital for life on Earth. Today many people believe that water shortage is the most severe problem, but there are many different other issues such as overpopulation and global warming.…
Our Water is Running Out Boston Globe - January 6, 2002 By Jeffrey Rothfeder For those of us who can turn on the faucet confident that there will be steady stream of clean water for bathing, drinking, cooking, washing dishes, the thought that the world could go dry seems incomprehensible. But the reality we face is sobering: water -- nature's most essential element -- is becoming dangerously scarce. A freshwater crisis has already begun that threatens to leave much of the world dry in the next 20 years, without enough water for a minimum of life.…
Water is the most important substance in our evolution and our daily lives. Without water, life as we know it would not have been possible. This essay will examine the water molecule in order to ascertain how it brought about Earth's successful ecosystem and how important it is to us today.…
Because in human body contain up to 70% of water. Therefore, water is very important for us. A person can survive about two months without food, but only a few days without water. Industrialization, architectural, and others developing in our country, will cause many types of pollution, such as water pollution.…
Human body needs three requisites for its smooth functioning – oxygen,water and food in that order.Our first requirement to live is oxygen since we cannot survuvive more than a few minutes without taking oxygen.Water has been ranked as second only to oxygen as essential for life because we can stay for a few days without drinking water.Then comes the food.…
