Our ability to consistently access clean water is essential for our future generation's survival. Water is very important because it helps keep the human body functioning. In particular, the role of clean water is emphasized when discussing proper digestion. The human body relies on the digestive system to move foods and fluids throughout the body and break down the food into nutrients. In return, the body uses it for growth, energy, and cell repair. All of this can only be possible with access to clean water for citizens in every country. However, developing countries such as India, have more struggles to access water as oppose to a developed nation like the United States of America. Both of these countries are coping with clean water access

The projection in 2050 has India's population at roughly 1.69 billion people. That number is astonishing because that prediction compared to China's projected population (1.31 million), is 38 million people larger (blogs.cuit.columbia.edu, 2013). As a result, the government provides the upper class families in India with the access to clean water rather than the rural neighborhoods. However, under Article twenty-one in the Constitution of India, it is a legal right for citizens to have safe drinking water available. The majority of developed countries have a requirement of approximately one hundred liters of water per person a day and that the cost of water should not surpass three percent of the income that a citizen makes. This rule does not apply to India because the country is still considered developing. Most of India’s citizens …show more content…
When developing countries have too many citizens, there simply just isn’t enough clean water to supply everyone. At the same time, the water supply that India’s citizens do have, isn’t clean enough to solve the problem. The population in the United States is also increasing but not as fast as the rate of India’s population. America’s main problem that must be focused on is the drought affecting the clean water supply. Both of these water supply situations are difficult to control but the more developed country in America has a better chance in solving the problem. Action must be taken to cut down the use of water supply until the drought
