Water is one of the worlds most valuable and abundant resources. Yet, water scarcity exists in many countries and is a growing threat to millions of people around the world. Water scarcity arises when the demand for clean and safe water outweighs the supply. And as global populations steadily increase, so too does the need for more water.
Water Facts Around the world, over 2.2 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water while over 40% of the world s population is affected by water scarcity.
Issues Comes from many sources including pesticides and fertilizers that wash away from farms, untreated human wastewater, and industrial waste. Some effects are immediate, as when harmful bacteria from human waste contaminate water and make it unfit to drink or swim in. Water shortage: Due to a lack of water infrastructural in general or to the poor management of water resources, many of the water systems that keep ecosystems thriving and feed a growing human population have become stressed. Rivers, lakes and aquifers are drying up or becoming too polluted to use. Water pollution:
Causes The main causes of climate change, deforestation, leads to heat islands that impact the surrounding land. As humans continue to pump more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, patterns of weather and water will change around the world. These changes will combine to make less water available for agriculture, energy generation, cities and ecosystems around the world. WASTEWATER: contaminated water sometimes can be plentiful in an area. Wastewater is one of the leading causes for many of the world s most pervasive diseases, including cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio. CLIMATE CHANGE:
Without access to clean water, people resort to using and drinking water from contaminated sources, leading to preventable diseases like diarrhea and cholera. These illnesses cause families to lose time and money, and can even lead to death. When communities have a safe water source, they re instead able to thrive. Impact on health: Consequences Time lost from fetching water or being sick from waterborne diseases keeps many children out of school. Without kids being able to advance their education, cycles of poverty often continue generation after generation. Once schools and families have water and sanitation facilities and menstrual hygiene resources for girls, children can stay in school and families can prosper. Impact on education:
There are solutions to the global water crisis, including: Enabling the construction and facilitation of efficient water infrastructure. Creating awareness on the restoration and conservation of water ecos ystems. Training people in sustainable farming methods and efficient water usage. Solutions
