We live in a world where clean water is a basic human right for people of a developed society, but a blessing--and perhaps difference between life and death-- for those of a developing society. If something can easily be improved, why not improve…
As a child growing up in Nigeria, clean water was hard to come by if the individual was not wealthy. Fortunately, my family is rich but that is not the case for the majority of Nigerians. In Nigeria the government is too corrupt to help its own people. Therefore, the water problem is ignored. However, the American government seems to care about how the people live.…

During the 18th century, France possessed the colony known to them as Saint Domingue, an island in the Caribbean Sea. Possessing valuable resources and optimal conditions for growing expensive crops such as sugar, France dedicated much of their money into this little island, allowing Saint Domingue to become the wealthiest colony in this time period. However, the Haitian slaves revolted against the French colonial rulers, resulting in the first complete successful slave rebellion in history. However, the cost of the war, natural disasters, and a French "independence tax" crippled the former colony, leading to an almost instantaneous decline in the country's wealth and prosperity. Today, Haiti has the shameful title of the poorest country…

People need water to survive. Where there is no water, there will not be life and it’s amazing to me how one can go weeks and even months without food but can only go about 1 week without water (Spector, 2014). Thankfully our planet is made up of 70% water, I’m sure one would say, but unfortunately only 1% of our fresh water is easily accessible with the rest being trapped in ice glaciers so in actuality only 0.007 percent of the planet's water is available to the 6.8 billion people that live on this planet (environment.nationalgeographic.com). The biggest public health concern as related to fresh drinking water is pollution. In developing countries, 70 percent of industrial wastes are dumped untreated into waters, polluting the usable water…
In Haiti, the government has not designed nor designated an entity to create a wastewater or public sewage system in their country. It many areas throughout the country, the citizens are forced to bathe in rivers and streams contaminated with human and animal waste. Additionally, many farmers are forced to collect water from common-source areas, which are shared by all of their neighbors. This limits the water that is available for their crops. Lastly, because of the deforested areas, there is no protection from floods and rains, which causes additional contamination to water…
The people in Latin America are struggling to keep their lives while their bodies slowly die from the contamination of the water that they drank. These people in Latin America have women and children walk miles to get a glass of water to drink and even after they get that water, it is contaminated with all kinds of diseases that can lead to severe sickness and even death! That is why we have to conserve our fresh water that we take advantage of and get daily in our homes. Conserving water is when you preserve something to save for later. We are saving the freshwater for the future so that when we grow up we would still have some left.…
People were helpless as they watched blue skies turn grey, and clear water turn brown. Still today, over 1 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. Every 15 seconds somewhere on the planet, a child dies from a water-related disease, according to WaterPartners International. Unsolvable pollution was not the end of the negative effects and nothing could stop the growth of…
The world is running out of water, 75% of the planet earth is covered with water out of that 97.5% is the ocean, 2.5% is freshwater but 70% of that is ice, 30% is groundwater and much of that is polluted. Which leaves only 1% safe water and out of that, 70% is used for irrigation, 22% for industry and 0.8% for domestic use that consists of basic tasks like sanitation, drinking etc (Heimbuch,2010). This issue is known as water scarcity it is the lack of sufficient water for daily needs, without water the humankind will die off eventually it is extremely important for survival. According to recent estimates from the International Water Clean “potable water is an essential ingredient of a healthy human life, but 1.2 billion people lack access…
Cleaning water is not an easy process. It is expensive. There are already plenty of countries that do not have access to fresh water. "it is estimated that by 2025, more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability and human demand for water will account for 700 0 of all available freshwater"(Tsiattalos). Humans are constantly adapting to their surroundings.…
