Drinking water is essential to any lifestyle; a substance that humans cannot live a healthy life without. The water bottle business is an 11-billion-dollar industry, one needs to question why it is such a successful industry when one can drink similar water in the comfort of their own home.

In the past, many wars have emerged because of oil; now, due to our inefficient use of water, which has caused a rapid scarcity of water, water will be the cause of wars. If we continue to use water the way we are currently using it, we will soon run out of water. The lack of water majorly effects underdeveloped countries as depicted in the picture from the article “Water and sanitation still not top priorities for African governments.” With this issue comes the questions of how we should be…

even a week. Throughout the documentary the scientists show the audience how important water is and why we need to do everything to preserve it. The documentary was about how the constant demand for water is slowly depleting the planet's water resources.

This can be seen in the Aral Sea that used to be plentiful but got over pumped and…
