A clean water crisis

Posted by tawile11 December 17th, 2009

The amount of fresh water within the world is vastly shrinking and becoming more scarce to utilize in everyday life. Water is constantly being recycled within the planet, but as it is recycled, the availability becomes less and less. Humans use water for just about everything as it is used for bathing, cooking, cleaning, drinking and many other processes that are used throughout daily life. This overuse as it seems of water is what is most likely causing this growing decrease of the amount of usable fresh water. Majority of the world is covered by water, an astounding 70%, but what must be taken into consideration is the fact that only 2.5% of it is actually sustainable for humans daily processes. The use of water by humans is proven to be very inefficient, which is why water is decreasing, in the future by the year 2025, it is believed that 2/3 of the world will live in water deprived areas. he human body consists of 60% water, and without it humans would not be able to survive. If people do not start to efficiently use water, humanity could be looking at a devastating dilemma Photo: Children playing in freshwater lake
