About a million Filipinos get sick with water-borne diseases yearly. And these are diarrhea cases alone. They don’t include other water-borne disease like amoebiasis‚ crypto-sporidiosis and cholera. Water refilling stations can help address the water contamination problem.

and farmers believe our only option is to take water from under the ground. But‚ groundwater depletion is causing a lot of bad things to happen. It is making the layer of clay above collapse‚ when the clay collapses the dirt above gives way and sinks. This sinking causes sinkholes and is very dangerous. The sinking also damages pipes‚ buckles walls of irrigation canals‚ and cracks homes. Although the sinking is already a big enough threat the water in general could be dangerous. In some cases

world know that the world’s water is scarce or undrinkable? And if so‚ what are they doing about it? Although water seems to be everywhere all water is not useable. Even though 71% of the earth is made up of water‚ water is still scarce in every country; including the United States‚ according to Williams (2014). California sits right on the Pacific Ocean; however‚ this water is not consumable and Californians are experiencing a four-year drought. As mentioned by The Water Project (2015)‚ in developing

project is to determine whether river water or lake water is cleanest as it relates to tap water. The independent variables being tested in this experiment are the different waters being tested which are river water‚ lake water‚ and tap water‚ which is the control. The dependant variable is which of the three waters are the cleanest as it relates to unfiltered tap water. The purpose of this experiment is to determine what the different aspects of the three types of waters are and how that relates to cleanliness

was amazed to see all of the people had their hands full with bottled water. Bottles were everywhere. Even the dogs were drinking from bottles of water. There were garbage cans‚ beside recycle bins‚ filled with bottles. Not to mention the bottles laying everywhere on the ground. Bottled water is a problem in our society. Bottled water should be banned because it is dangerous for our environment‚ resources‚ and health. Bottled water is very dangerous for your environment because recycling is not sufficient

California‚ stormwater in particular effects coastal water quality because a large percentage of the water runoff and pollution flows into the ocean in just a few storms in the winter (Ho Ahn et al.‚ 2005). Many urbanized watersheds‚ Santa Ana included‚ have a stormwater flow that is controlled by municipal infrastructure that is used to minimize flood potential and maximize water reclamation. This‚ then‚ results in the discharge into coastal waters for days even after a rain event‚ causing a potential

Lack of access to clean water Nature: What is wrong? Fresh water is not distributed evenly throughout the world and because of that reason it has become a global issue. Only 2.5 % of the planets water is fresh water and most is found in snow and ice. Fresh water is becoming scarce especially for countries that experience low precipitation and low evapotranspiration. Droughts and floods also affect the availability of fresh water. The world population is becoming denser and

Only a few people understand that water and its quality are characterized in several other ways beyond salt‚ fresh‚ and tap water.
