Water is everywhere. Not only does water surround the continents, but we are also made up mostly of water and we need it to survive as well. If we do not have access to water, it will significantly affect our health. The economy will be affected by water and its cost. This will cause environmental effects with farmers not having enough water to run their farms. Various authors demonstrate through their articles that water is a limited resource and that humans must begin to act in all aspects of their lives. However, water conservation cannot be solved in just one way. To solve water conservation problems, we need to inform people, regulate businesses, and protect resources around the world. These water conservation practices will help people in the following ways: internationally, socially, educationally, economically and environmentally. We live in a modern world and yet there are still people dying due to poor sanitation across the country. The lack of good sanitation systems like toilets and sewers leads millions of people to die from diarrhea, dysentery, and cholera (Leslie 1). Since the world's population is increasing so quickly, this will cause sanitation to deteriorate and then lead to more deaths from lack of clean water (Leslie 1). These people who die every year need access to clean water, and their country needs to start taking advantage of its water and not let people die for unnecessary reasons. There is much more water stored underground and Leslies states that "compared to the fresh water visible from Earth – in lakes, ponds and rivers – the amount of water stored in underground aquifers is sixty times greater.” ...... middle of paper ...... worries.
