I AM A Resident Of Pantai Hillpark And
I AM a resident of Pantai Hillpark and I was happy to live and work here for over two years now. However, the recent water rationing exercise during the whole month drew us to unbearablelivingconditions. It seems to me only Pantai Hillpark suffered from the shortage of water. I have many friends all over the city but they had no water cuts or, at least, not to the extent we had over the last month. Syabas had said there would be two days with water supply and two days without. However, in reality, this was more like 1.5 days with water and three days without. I cannot comprehend how this water rationing exercise works when only a few areas had to beat with water cuts. Furthermore, residents fill up their containers before water is cut, thus they end up paying the same amount for their water bill. Another thing that puzzles me is, how does a country that sits in the wettest region in the world face water shortage? I am pretty sure that there is enough ground water for everyone. If anyone had thought of drilling a hole in the ground, they would surely find plenty of water. The whole country sits on the bed, however no one thought of wells. They prefer doing cloud seeding. Perhaps digging a well costs more than messing with weather up in the sky? The local governments should look into the possible spread of disease with this water rationing exercise. I have enjoyed great hospitality for a long time love Kuala Lumpur and keep it that way. The authorities should “word of mouth” is the most credible and efficient advertising. They should not allow triates to leave this world country with a bad tast mouths.

    Do the citizens of the world know that the world’s water is scarce or undrinkable? And if so, what are they doing about it? Although water seems to be everywhere all water is not useable. Even though 71% of the earth is made up of water, water is still scarce in every country; including the United States, according to Williams (2014). California sits right on the Pacific Ocean; however, this water is not consumable and Californians are experiencing a four-year drought. As mentioned by The Water Project (2015), in developing countries, either the quantity of water is significantly scarce or the quality of safe drinking water is insufficient, thus creating a water shortage. When the water crisis is mentioned two terms are associated with it: water stress and water access. According to the European Environment Agency ([EEA], 2015), water stress exists when…

    BYLINE: Kevin Watkins SECTION: COMMENT; Pg. 32 LENGTH: 923 words The rich world must act to prevent dirty water and poor sanitation now killing more than a million children a year Halving the proportion of the world without access to clean water would cost a month's bottled water in Europe and the US Nobody reading this started the day with a two-mile hike to collect the family's daily water supply from a stream. None of us will suffer the indignity of using a plastic bag for a toilet. And our children don't die for want of a glass of clean water. Perhaps that's why we have such a narrow view of what constitutes a "water crisis". Dwindling reservoirs and a few ministerial exhortations to flush the toilet less often, and we've got a national emergency on our hands. Hold the front page, there could be a hosepipe ban in the home counties. In the next 24 hours diarrhoea caused by unclean water and poor sanitation will claim the lives of 4,000 children. The annual death toll from this relentless catastrophe is larger than the population of Birmingham. Dirty water poses a greater threat to human life than war or terrorism. Yet it barely registers on the radar of public debate in rich countries. At any one time, close to half the population of the developing world is suffering from water-related diseases. These rob people of their health, destroy their livelihoods, and undermine education potential. The statistics behind the crisis make for grim reading. In the midst of an increasingly prosperous global economy, 2.6 billion people still have no access to even the most rudimentary latrine. Over one billion have no source of drinking water.…

    As we know, China is a big country as well as a developing country. Developing countries need to develop quickly so that they can catch up with those developed ones; as a result, many enterprises in china keep running days and nights, which let out effluent continuously at the same time they gain profit. Another problem is china has a population of 1.3billion, a large amount of water have to be used everyday. However, seldom of them cherish water that they own.

    Water Crisis in Pakistan

    • 11 Pages

    Water in general and fresh water in particular is essential for sustaining quality of life on earth. This commodity has a direct bearing on almost all sectors of economy. In Pakistan, its importance is more than ordinary due to the agrarian nature of the economy. Share of agriculture in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Pakistan, though reduced since 1970, is now estimated at about 24%. Agriculture is also the major user of water, yet in many parts of Pakistan, the very survival of the people depends on the timely and adequate availability of water. With rising demands, the aridity index of the country is adding further to the significance of water in any developmental activity in Pakistan. Though, once a water surplus country due to huge water resources of the Indus River System, Pakistan is fast becoming a water deficit country. The present annual per capita water availability in Pakistan is about 920 cubic metres, which is far below the minimum recommended level of 2000 cubic meters.…
