2.1 billion people in all countries are don't have acceibility to clean drinking water because of pollution, poverty and poor management of resources. Water resources are distributed by agriculture and industry energy production. Agriculture is responsible for 70 percent of the reduction of water around the world. 75 percent of countries’ water is used for this purpose and distributed by contamination. Fortunately, there has been and increase in efforts to develop technology to fight off contamination and reduce the rate of water depletioin. How can you contribute to making sure everyone has clean drinking water? How much does this problem concern you?

We could help by sending money, bottles of water, and also by sending over water cleaning stuff. This problam concerns me a lot because you need water to live and if you dont have enough your body will not work right and you be sick.
I can contribute to this by donating any extra money I have to all the companies that go out and actually deal with these problems.
This concerns me a lot because we all have something nice, but some people of OUR world do not have those things and it would make us basically monsters if we didn't lend them a helping hand and give them those luxuries as we have them.
It concern me a lot becasue lot of poeple need water to stay alive and it happen to me i would want pople to do the same thing to me. Sometime if you help someone then that sometime someone will help you when you need it really bad.
I think that you could help by buying lots of water and then you can take it to them so then they will have some or you can ask poeple around you and start asking if poeple can bring water to your house then you can wait tell you have lots then take it down to them.
I think one of the best ways is to put up a donation to help raise money for those in need of freshwater or the equipment to help make that happen. It concerns me a little cause everyone needs clean water.
I don't really know how we could solve this problem for everyone because there are multiple countrys that don't have water. However I do think we could help by giving the people who need it bottled water. It concerns me quite a bit because there are people just like me in the world who are dying of thirst.
I have heard of one solution to safe drinking water that includes a small device that can be used in developing countries that will clean the water and is very inexpensive to produce. I think that this is a huge problem in the world, especially when you consider the fact that some people are living lavish and luxurious lives while others don't even have shoes or clean water to drink.
I have never heard of something like this but if that is true than that would be amazing for those countrys because like you said it isn't that expensive so some of the non-wealthy countrys would be able to buy this. I agree with you that most people are spoiled while people around the world are dying.
I do not know if one person such as my self could help this cause but I could try conserving more water so the people who do not have it can use more water that is clean. I think that people need to make a giant water purifier or something to make nasty water, clean.
I would use the water I already use very sparingly and only use what I need. I would also donate clean water to places that take donations for clean unpolutied water. The only problem I would have is if I would loose the use of the water I do have. water is easily taken for granteed tho cause we do have access to it in the usa with no problums.
