As we know, California has been experienced water scarcity for long time due to the severe drought, and the…

Man-made Water Crisis Droughts have played a huge role throughout California’s history. Just as recently as two years ago, California’s record-breaking drought was declared the worst in the state’s history. However, this year, Governor Jerry Brown declared the drought emergency at an end. Many residents have referred to California’s issue as a “man made drought.” In other words, the water crisis is not from the lack of fresh water in California, but the lack of purposeful direction and use…

growth of the population is demanding more and more water for this region. This problem is further aggravated by the rate at which populations will be increasing. More industry requires more water, and the quantity of water services is more demanding too. Plus the increase becomes any awareness to the government and it will provide better water services. (World Bank, 2016). All the water that is being used ,…

and drink with water. We may not think about it much, but water is very vital to life. Roughly about 70-71% of the planet is covered by water, but only about 2.5% of that water is fresh water. The global water crisis is a major problem in the world and we are not doing much to conserve the water we have. The world is in a high demand of water, yet there is not much water available to meet the needs. The population growth is increasing so fast that this is also a problem with water scarcity. Most…

state officials, not the mayor. [1] In order to save for water expense, government officials had decided to switch water source from Lake Huron, that had been used by citizens of Flint for decades, to Flint River in 2014. This is the beginning of the story. However, the Flint River was seriously polluted by road sault and a corrosion inhibitor was not constructed in attempt to save more money, according to Marc Edwards, an expert on water treatment from Virginia Tech. Citizens sooner realized…

ethical justification is driven by continued decrease in water resources in California due to unfavorable weather conditions. The executive order 2016 (in continuity to previous executive orders) states that the water levels have not crossed the required levels due to the limited amount of rain and snowfall. This had a direct impact on the state rivers, underground basins and reservoirs. The drought has increased the scarcity of drinking/ potable water. Agricultural production has been affected.…

by now, there is a grave injustice happening in Flint, Michigan. The city’s drinking water is heavily contaminated with lead and has been since 2014. The problem began when the city of Flint switched to using the Flint River as a source of drinking water. A month after the switch was made, residents began to “complain about the smell and color of the new water, which [was] 70 percent harder than its previous water source” (Kennedy, 2016). Despite the complaints, no action was taken. It is…

Water is the most precious resource to mankind. Every living substance needs water, from humans to plants and animals. It is the one thing no living creature can survive without. The prospect of losing or even just having restricted access to water is a very frightening one. Water shortages not only pose an epic threat for the understandable reason, our fear of dehydration and our need to drink, but also to the lives of our friends, family, or beloved pets. With little or no water people would…
