Diseases spread because of people use it every day even animals use it and just imagine what if one person is sick and they drink out of that little water supply that will make the other people sick, also that much people in 2015 over 10,711,067 and some people do not have toilets. Many people are so poor they don’t have protection or water faucets. We could make it better by using a filter for the water to be clean and finding a way to make the ocean to clean usable

Following a week in Haiti, it is time to reflect on the organization that made everything possible, the health structures, and the impact of the trip. Haiti Lifeline was established in 1999.…

Lake Azuéi was baptized as well because of its brackish water, it is a twin of Lake Enriquillo.

This area, currently below the sea level, was trapped in the lowest point of the depression, giving rise to lakes of brackish water.…

    Historically the surrounding forests and wetlands of São Paulo have soaked up rain and released it into the reservoir, but the destruction of these areas are causing the reservoir to dry up, contributing to the drought. Even the deforestation in the Amazon River basin hundreds of miles away may also be adding to the water crisis; cutting the forest reduces its capacity to release humidity into the air, diminishing rainfall in southeast Brazil. The city’s surging population growth in the 20th century has also contributed to the draught, as the population grows so does the demand of clean water. A chronically leaky system that spills vast amounts of this water before it can even reach homes is also worsening the crisis: more than 30 percent…
