    In 2010, a devastating earthquake struck Haiti, destroying homes, families, and natural resources such as water. When a developing community loses the only clean water they have access to due to an earthquake or other natural disaster, the results can be catastrophic. Haiti was crushed, as if it was not already underdeveloped enough. The earthquake demolished much of the farm land, which removed many jobs from the agricultural field. A new wave of technology, known as aquaculture, has been created to help revitalize Haiti and other developing countries. The use of technology and a clean water supply can help developing countries become more productive, but also take away part of the culture and traditional farming practices away from communities.…

    Agriculture plays a significant role in the quality of water and three factors come into play when considering agricultural effects: pesticides, fertilizers and the waste produced by farm animals. When pesticides or fertilizers are applied to crops the excess materials will either run off the land, or seep into the groundwater, with an eventual ending in bodies of water such as lakes, ponds, or streams. The excess nutrients, including nitrates and phosphates, contaminate freshwater ecosystems causing eutrophication and algae blooms, which limits sunlight reaching lower waters, and reduces dissolved oxygen. Dr. Robert Diaz of VIMS and WRI staff says there are more than 228 large coastal areas affected by serious eutrophication, for example Wamberal Lagoon in Australia and Izmir Bay in Turkey. Point sources of contamination to ground water can also include septic tanks, fluid storage tanks, landfills, and industrial lagoons. If a contaminant is soluble in water and reaches the water table, the contaminant will be transported by the slowly moving ground water, and possibly end up in surface water bodies nearby, poisoning the water an organisms in it. Human waste may contain harmful elements that can cause human disease such as E. coli which will spread through the groundwater system and into the food web. Not only do these problem affect the quality, but if a large water storage area is contaminated the availability of clean water will be decreased.…
