Clean and Safe Water
So the information researched on our topic is meant to answer this question. What's
happening with our water? And here's the answer: We are running out of our water supply, and the
remaining water that we do have left, is not so clean and safe. Aside from our unclean water, the
earth's water is also being privatized. Water privatization is where companies have the right to
different water wells, and bodies of water in different countries, many times sucking up lots of water,
exercising their rights over the water, and leaving the local citizens empty handed if they cannot
afford the ridiculous water prices. Besides our oil, we are also running out of clean water. In a
documentary called, "Bluegold," they explain how the world is running out of water, and we keep
using it without rationing it accordingly. According to the documentary, 97 percent of the Earth water
is salt water, and the remaining 3 percent is fresh water, which is already polluted. Because we're
polluting the surface water so fast, we're now drilling under the Earth for more water, faster than it
can be replenished. In the documentary, "A world without water," it also explains a lot about what's
going on with water privatization. The documentary shows families in third world countries who
are forced to live without water, when big water companies move in and buy the rights to own the
clean water of that area. What we need to figure out is how to ration our water accordingly so we
don't run out of it so soon. We also need to remove the rights that companies have that deprive every
day people of the basic necessity of life, which is water.
