    On December,23 2008 a 66 inch water pipe burst in a small town in Maryland. MORE than 150,000 gallon of water flowed through the pipe per minute. The road was left with more than 4 feet of water, rescue crews had to save some motorist and drivers but luckily no one was hurt during all of this.

    Water contamination is vastly becoming an alarming issue across the world. We rely on clean water to survive, yet right now we are heading towards a water crisis. Changing climate patterns are threatening lakes and rivers, and key sources that we tap for drinking water are being overdrawn or tainted with pollution (www.nrdc.org). Clean and plentiful water is the cornerstone of prosperous communities. Yet as we enter the 21st century, swelling demand and changing climate patterns are draining rivers and aquifers and pollution is threatening the quality of what remains.

    Do you know how much water the average American uses in one day? From showers and flushing toilets to cooking and drinking, the average American uses about 100 gallons of water per day (“Water.org”). Additionally, they know that their water will always be clean. Now imagine Haiti, where the average person lives off of only 4-5 gallons of water per day, which may or may not be clean water (“Water.org”). Millions of people in Haiti suffer every day due to a lack of clean, usable water. Fortunately, to help combat this terrible human rights abuse, there’s a non-governmental organization called Water.org that builds wells in Haitian villages to ensure a long-lasting solution to the issue. Even though the organization is doing wonderful work, access to clean water continues to be a tragic issue in Haiti.…

    I am involved in the Thirst Project which builds freshwater wells across the world. Through the Thirst Project I have participated in different events as well as going to different businesses to try and get donations. My involvement in the Thirst Project has really grown since I started volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club because I am able to see how important it is for these kids to get food because their economic circumstances at home may not allow for it. This is much more drastic in the places where the Thirst Project is trying to build the wells because of how contaminated their water is. There is a constant struggle to decide between drinking the polluted water and getting a disease or not drinking the water and run the risk of…

    Why not invest smart dollars conserving the fresh water already available? Of course, society must learn to change old habits: It should start conserving, quit calling water purified from sewer waste “toilet to tap,” which has been widely used by the media as well as politicians and has only a negative effect on the public’s perception of reclaimed water, and start investing in a system for saving rain water runoff. Although…

    This isn’t the only reservoir suffering. Lake McClure’s reservoir is at 10 percent capacity. It’s hard to believe that the water in California is so low. It’s only been a little over a hundred years when the Los Angeles Aqueduct was opened in 1913. California is making plans to conserve water. “Mayor Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles wants to reduce the amount of water the city purchases by 50 percent in the next decade, cutting back through aggressive use of wastewater and conservation.” Farmers are losing their crops due to this drought. Farmers have lost more than 400,000 acres which made them lose 2 billion dollars last year. One way for California to lower their water shortage is to stop growing almonds. Farmers have nearly doubled almond trees since 2005 while people in cities is losing their lawns and having to take faster showers because of water shortage. The almond trees uses enough water to support 75 percent of California’s population. If almond growers stopped making so many almond trees then most of the population in California wouldn’t be on water shortages. Clearly something has to change or many lives will be in trouble soon in…
