Water is a essential, and something EVERYONE must have to survive. Every year according to missionsbox.org more than 500,000 people die from diarrhea, from consuming unsafe drinking water. Over 2 million don’t even have access to safe drinking water. And over 260 million people must travel 30 minuets or more to collect safe water. And this is just in Asia.. 27% of the worlds population are living in bad water conditions. Only 73 million people in the world out of 8 billion have the same availability to water that we do. It is concerning to me that so many people are struggling with their life because of water scarcity. 1 in 4 people lack safe water and 2 in 5 people lack a safe toilet. Can you imagine not being able to use the restroom because they can’t use the water?
So many countries are in need of water as I showed in my other paragraph. And Israel being one of them could use our water more than ever. And people in the Gaza strip are struggling even more because Israel wont give them access to their water. So many people in United States use millions of gallons of water every day. While people there are lucky if they get a drop of what we have. And I am seeing people waste water spilling it on eachother in school.. Making toilets over flow.. For fun? We need to be considerate of others in need. Even in the US people are thirsty. Go give waters to the homeless, or even animals left thirsty on the streets. Do nathing but useless wasting of essential water.
I think people need to take accounabilty for thier own actions. And use not just their heads but their hearts to think of others in need. Desperate people that will be grateful for about anything you can give them. And if you can't do anything for anyone else, just drink water and be greatful you are not dying from it. I see the poor children begging their mom for a drink and think we need some change. BE that change.

Good topic choice and summary Elana! You didn't do any replies so you will be getting 7 extra crddit points for this.
Do you believe that this is a serious problem? Yes I belive that this is a big deal. Notonly will we run out of clen drinking water not just for the united states but for all the other countries also. if we do not put money into this topic i feel like we will run into water issues and as we can see from some other countries it is not good.
What would you do to help this water problem? I don't know what I would do because I am not qualified to help, and don't really know what I would do. I think that the government should hire people to help preserve water and help keep it clean.
Do you believe that this is a serious problem? Yes, I do belive this is a serious problem. In the next 20 years we will run out of clean drinking water. Not just these foreign countires but the United States. If we dont put serious money into solving this problem it will only get worse.
I think that we as a country need to be equal with the amounts of water we distribute around the world. As the source said, millions die from drinking unsafe and contaminatied water. Millions of others have to be hospitalized. It should make perfect sense to distribute it equally and help make us a more united world.
What would you do to help this water problem? I would start by bringing in water to countries that are in need of it.
Where would you want to help the most? I would want to help Africa because they dont have much water there.
Do you believe that this is a serious problem? No I don't because we have plenty of water from oceans that could last millions of years.
I think one way to solve this water problem would be taking better care of the word itself. If we went to the center of the problem, where it started, the polution we would see that there would be less unsafe drinking water as it would not have bad chemicals in it.
What would you do to help this water problem? I personally wouldn't do anything because I am not qualified to help with the issues but I would still like to give my opinion. I don't think that it is that big of an issue because I haven't noticed it yet.
What would you do to help this water problem? I think that we should push the use of more water honeslty i think that most people turn to other things then water Do you believe that this is a serious problem? No i don't think that we are taking advatage of water we just have a lot of it in our country that we use.
To fix the water problem I would suggest maybe limiting the amount of water people can use at one time, or maybe just do that for people who waste more water than others. I think this would help the most because the useage of water would be greatly reduced. I believe this is a serious problem because if we aren't careful one day we might run out of fresh water.
