Expand on the water issue in the US. Do people in the US lack access to safe drinking water?
ReplyDeleteWhere is a lack of water a problem?
ReplyDeleteAccording to statistics, about 884 million people do not have access to clean water, and 37% of those people live in Sub-Saharan Africa.
ReplyDeleteWhat groups or peple have contributed the most to helping the water crisis problem in Sub-Saharan Africa?
ReplyDeleteJay-Z is one of the many people who have raise awareness about the water crisis, specifically in Africa. He set up some fountains there that have clean water flowing from them, instead of the kids having to walk a long distance with buckets only to fill them up with unsanitized water from a creek.
ReplyDeleteIs there a lack of water only in Africa and the U.S. or is there one in any European countries or in Asia.
ReplyDeleteWhat can be done to help solve this problem in both Africa and the U.S.?
ReplyDeleteIs any of the water scarcity in the world attributed to overpopulation in some areas?
ReplyDeleteAccording to www.unwater.org, 85% of the world population lives in the driest half of the planet. This statistic supports the idea of over population, if our population was smaller, more people could live in areas where water is easily accessible; but, this is not possible due to the size of our population.
ReplyDeleteAre there water problems around here? Ohio?
ReplyDeleteDo they expect this to spread throughout the U.S or stay mainly in the South and West?
ReplyDeleteTo what extent do droughts cause problems and how often do they occur?
ReplyDeletePeople in the mostly the south western portion of the U.S. experience problems with water due to droughts.Droughts affect 66 % of Americans whose communities depend on surface water. As for drinking water quality, there are concerns about disinfection by-products, lead, perchlorates and pharmaceutical substances, but drinking water quality in the U.S. is generally good. People in the U.S. are becoming more aware of these issues thus increasing the reuse of treated wastewater for non-potable uses.
