Global water scarcity has risen concern worldwide
. Natural ecosystems require water for the survival of the
humans, plants, [Either have a comma before the last item in your lists or don't. But be consistent.]
and animals that live within them. These ecosystems help regulate water quantity and quality.
As the world's
population continues to increase
, people are overusing water and destroying many natural resources. Humans consume water, poison it, and waste it without considering the consequences. Supplying the correct quantity of water at the right time and place has always been difficult
. All life
depends on water; it
is as important as air, food, and sunlight. The problem is that there is no way to increase the amount of water to match the increased population of organisms that depend on it.
The amount of potable freshwater that is available to
the human race is
Some people attempt to turn salt water into potable freshwater through
a process called
desalination, but this technique is time-consuming
as well as expensive. We cannot
depend on this process to fix the
global water shortage. Many issues
such as global warming, deforestation, and seasonal changes add to water
scarcity. The decline of potable freshwater
is also the effect of the contamination of water by
diseases that can cause diarrhea, dehydration, and death.
Since our life is dependent on the amount of water we consume, everyone should be concerned about this issue. We should decrease our
water usage and protect the
environment from global warming.
We should be concerned about future generations. The scarcity of water could
become the main cause of world wars and possibly change the future
of humanity in a negative way. We need to protect our water and prevent water pollution from occurring.
