Water Crisis Currently in the world millions of people die because they lack a safe source for drinking freshwater others die because they do not have the appropriate sanitation systems. Meanwhile some others waste water like it was infinite. Which is why water must be taken care of.
While the world's population tripled in the 20th century, the use of renewable water resources has grown six-fold. Within the next fifty years, the world population will increase by another 40 to 50 %. This population growth - coupled with industrialization and urbanization - will result in an increasing demand for water and will have serious consequences on the environment.
Already there is more waste water generated and dispersed today than at any other time in the history of our planet: more than one out of six people lack access to safe drinking water, and more than two out of six lack adequate sanitation. 3900 children die every day from water borne diseases.
It is all the more critical that increased water use by humans does not only reduce the amount of water available for industrial and agricultural development but has a profound effect on aquatic ecosystems and their dependent species. Environmental balances are disturbed and cannot play their regulating role anymore.
With the current state of affairs, correcting measures still can be taken to avoid the crisis to be worsening. There is a increasing awareness that our freshwater resources are limited and need to be protected in terms of quantity.
Whatever the use of freshwater, huge saving of water and improving of water management is possible. Almost everywhere, water is wasted, and as long as people are not facing water scarcity, they believe access to water is an obvious and natural thing. With urbanization and changes in lifestyle, water consumption is bound to increase. ____________________________________________________

Since population has grown water has become a very scarce resource.
Our population has grown so much that 1 out of 6 people in the world don't have access to drink safe water, every 15 seconds a child dies from a water related disease. This case are only shown with poor people. Aquatic creatures die cause humans had polluted water and water sanitation has become very low.
Humans should start saving water and give water a good use cause right now the consequences are terrible. One of the Millennium Development Goals is to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation. To that aim, several measures should be taken: guarantee the right to water; decentralize the responsibility for water; develop know-how at the local level; increase and improve financing; evaluate and monitor water resources. ______________________________ Water Crisis in the world
Since population has INCREASED water has become a very INSUFICIENT resource.
Our population has EXPANDED it self so much that 1 out of 6 people in the world don't have access to drink safe water, every 15 seconds a child dies from a water related disease. This case are only shown with poor people. Aquatic creatures die cause humans had polluted water and water sanitation has become very low.
Humans should BEGIN saving water and give water a good use cause right now the consequences are terrible. One of the Millennium Development Goals is to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation. To that aim, several measures should be taken: guarantee the right to water; decentralize the responsibility for water; develop know-how at the local level; increase and improve financing; evaluate and monitor water resources.
Water crisis population is growing, probably as a result of the use of renewable water will increase demand for water and we will have consequences. People lack drinking water and sanitation The water is dispersed today than in any other time in the history of our planet. Many people don’t have access to it and die because of this water conditions.
Water resources are becoming scarce Agricultural crisis Food has been increased in the past years. Population increases and the proportion of human water for human use is increasing. Industrial processes and all the other uses of water are becoming scarce.
Environmental crisis
Increased water use by humans, doesn’t reduce the amount of water available for industrial and agricultural development but has a profound effect on aquatic ecosystems.
The concept of water stress Water stress is an imbalance between water use and water resources. Water stress causes deterioration of fresh water resources interms of quantity and quality. This value of critical ratio, indicates high water stress is based on expert judgment and experience. WE SEE, THAT THIS SITUATION IS HETEROGENEOUS OVER THE WORLD.
An increase in tensions
As the resource is becoming scarce, tensions among different users may intensify, both at the national and international level. 260 river basins are shared by two or more countries. When major projects proceed without regional collaboration, they can become a point of conflicts, heightening regional instability.
Towards a way to impove the situation
This water challenge affects not only the water community, but also decision-makers and every human being."Water is everybody's business" was one the quotes in the world water forum.
Saving water resources
Whatever the use of freshwater (agriculture, industry, domestic use), huge saving of water and improving of water management is possible..Water is wasted everywhere, and we are not taking care of it. With urbanization and changes in lifestyle, water consumption is bound to increase. Changes in food habits, may reduce the problem, knowing that growing 1kg of potatoes requires only 100 litres of water, whereas 1 kg of beef requires 13 000 litres.
Improving drinking water supply
Water should be recognized as a great priority. One of the Millenium Development Goals is to have the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Guarantee the right to water, centralize the responsibility of water and so much more ideas to keep water save.
Improving transboundary cooperation
As far as transboundary conflicts are concerned, regional economic developement and cultural preservation can all be strengthened by states cooperating of water.
"There is a water crisis today. But the crisis is not about having too little water to satisfy our needs. It is a crisis of managing water so badly that billions of people - and the environment - suffer badly." World Water Vision Report "Water is everybody's business"
Already there is more waste water generated and dispersed today than at any other time in the history of our planet: more than one out of six people lack access to safe drinking water, namely 1.1 billion people, and more than two out of six lack adequate sanitation, namely 2.6 billion people, 3900 children die every day from water borne diseases.
Water withdrawals for irrigation represent 66 % of the total withdrawals and up to 90 % in arid regions, the other 34 % being used by domestic households (10 %), industry (20 %), or evaporated from reservoirs (4 %).
As the per capita use increases due to changes in lifestyle and as population increases as well, the proportion of water for human use is increasing.
As the resource is becoming scarce, tensions among different users may intensify. In the absence of strong institutions and agreements, changes within a basin can lead to transboundary tensions. When major projects proceed without regional collaboration, they can become a point of conflicts. The Parana La Plata, the Aral Sea, the Jordan and the Danube may serve as examples. Due to the pressure on the Aral Sea, half of its superficy has disappeared, representing 2/3 of its volume. Whatever the use of freshwater, huge saving of water and improving of water management is possible. Almost everywhere, water is wasted, and as long as people are not facing water scarcity, they believe access to water is an obvious and natural thing.
To that aim, several measures should be taken: • guarantee the right to water; • decentralise the responsibility for water; • develop know-how at the local level; • increase and improve financing; • evaluate and monitor water resources.
"There is a water crisis today. But the crisis is not about having too little water to satisfy our needs. It is a crisis of managing water so badly that billions of people - and the environment - suffer badly." World Water Vision Report "Water is everybody's business" PREVIOUSLY there is more MISUSED H2O PRODUCED and SPREAD OUT THIS DAY than at SOME other MOMENT in the MEMORIES of our WORLD: NOT LESS than 1/6 DO NOT HAVE ENTRY to SECURE BEVERAGE H2O, 1.1 billion people, and NOT LESS than 2/6 MISSES PROPER sanitation, 2.6 billion people, 3900 children LOS LIFE EACH day from H2O borne PROBLEMS.
H2O EGRESS for SPRAYING MEAN 66 % of the HOLE EGRESS and HIGHER to 90 % in DRY AREAS, the other 34 % being used by domestic households (10 %), industry (20 %), or evaporated from reservoirs (4 %).
LIKE the per capita use INCREMENT due to VARIATIONS in WAY OF LIFE and as THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE INCREMENT ALSO, the proportion of H2O for MEN use is INCREMENTING.
As the SOURCE is becoming SHORT, PROBLEMS BETWEEN users may INCREASE. In the NONAPPEARANCE of FIRM institutions and ARRANGEMENTS, changes IN a basin can TAKE to transboundary PROBLEMS. When BIG projects DEVELOP without regional HELP, they can TURN INTO a point of conflicts. The Parana La Plata, the Aral Sea, the Jordan and the Danube may serve as examples. BECAUSE OF the pressure on the Aral Sea, half of its TERRITORY has disappeared, representing 2/3 of its volume. WHICHEVER use of fresh H2O, BIG savingS of H2O and INCREASING of H2O management is possible. ABOUT ANYwhere, H20 is MISUSED, and WHILE people are not REALIZING H2O LACK, they THINK OBTAIN H2O is an obLIGATORY and natural thing.
To that aim, several measures should be taken: • guarantee the right to water; • decentralise the responsibility for water; • develop know-how at the local level; • increase and improve financing; • evaluate and monitor water resources.

While the world's population tripled in the 20th century, the use of renewable water resources has grown six-fold. Within the next fifty years, the world populations will GROWTH by another 40 to 50 %. This population growth - coupled with industrialization and urbanization - will result in an INCREMENTATION demand for water and will have IMPORTANT consequences on the environment.
BY NOW there is more UNUSED water generated and SPREAD today than at any other time in the history of our planet: more than one out of six people lack access to GOOD drinking water, 3900 children die every day from water borne EPIDEMIC (WHO 2004). One must know that these figures represent only people with very BADLY conditions. In reality, these figures should be much SUPERIOR.
It is all the more DELICATE that increased water CONSUME by humans does not only BRING DOWN the QUANTITY of water ACCESIBLE for industrial and agricultural COURSE but has a profound effect on aquatic ecosystems and their dependent species. Environmental balances are BOTHERED and cannot play their REGULATIVE FUNCTION anymore.
As the resource is becoming DEFICIENT, tensions among different users may intensify. Over 260 river basins are shared by two or more countries. In the DEARTH of strong institutions and agreements, CONVERSIONS within a basin can lead to transboundary PRESSURE.. The Parana La Plata, the Aral Sea, the Jordan and the Danube may ASSIST as examples. Due to the pressure on the Aral Sea, half of its superficy has GONE, representing 2/3 of its volume. 36 000 km2 of marin grounds are now HEALED by salt.

When the population in the world tripled in the 20th century, the use of water six-folded. Within the next 50 years the worlds people will grow by another 50%, this will increase the demand of safe drinking water. There’s more people in drinking unsafe water than people in the world drinking clean water in the globe than any other time in the world. One out of sick people lack of safe drinking water (2.2 billion). Closely near 3600 children die because of this. In real, this is higher. Although agricultural stability has been reached, water withdrawals from the earth represent the 60% or even the 90% in arid regions. This creates water stress. As water begins to scarce tensions between countries grow. When major projects proceed without regional collaboration, they can become a point of conflicts, heightening regional instability. The Parana La Plata, the Aral Sea, the Jordan and the Danube may serve as examples. Due to the pressure on the Aral Sea, half of its superficies has disappeared, representing 2/3 of its volume. 36 000 km2 of marin grounds are now recovered by salt. It is possible a huge change in water use, it doesn’t matter the use we give them, IT IS POSSIBLE. Almost everywhere, water is wasted, and as long as people are not facing water scarcity, they believe access to water is an obvious and natural thing.
When the number of people grew on the 20th century, the water expenses grew. Between the next 50 years the worlds population will increase by 50%.the safe drinking water will reduce. A lot more of the population drink unsafe water.2.2 billion. Near3600 kids die because of this every day. In reality the number is higher. Even though food security has been reached, the necessity for water is 66% or 90% in deserted places. Water stress is created. Then countries start fighting for water When a major building starts with no help from the region, it attracts fights. The Parana La Plata, the Aral Sea, the Jordan and the Danube may serve as examples. IT IS POSSIBLE, it does not matter what use we give water, a huge water change is possible. As long as people does not face water scarcity, they thing water will last forever.

MONEY DEFICIENCE in THE CONTINENT WHERE I LIVE is ENCHANT to COMMUNICATE a quick SUCCESS in the COMBAT against FICTION STORIES and discrimination FACING the homeless! THE 10 OF THE MONTH THAT COMES AFTER FEBRUARY, it was ANNOUNCED that New Hampshire's State AGENT Martin Harty, a Republican, ADVICED that PEOPLE with mental DISORDERS and the homeless should be REMITED to Siberia. State Rep. Harty TELL THESE WORDS to a FEMALE over the phone who had called to ARGUE his state's homeless PEOPLE: “It was a LITTLE WOMEN that FEEL A NEED FOR CASH for the INSANE INDIVIDUALS, a WELL percentage of the homeless people are mentally BAD. I said IT COULD BE they can ASK FOR a spot in Siberia off of Russia.” A petition was SET on March 11 and very FAST it WON over 100 SIGNS. On March 14, Rep. Harty ACCED his resignation. These ABOMINATE and ignorant words DISPLAY the EXTENSE stigma that IS PRESENT among some INDIVIDUALS in our COUNTRY AGAINST homeless PEOPLE and those BEING with mental DESEASES. He takes it a TRACK FORWARD, to TELL that THE BIG PART homeless PEOPLE are "INSANE INDIVIDUALS" and "mentally disturbed". For him to ADVICE that these PEOPLE should MOVE to Siberia is beyond ABUSIVE. Harty DON'T want homeless PEOPLE in his GARDEN, he doesn't even want them in this NATION. By: Maria Jose Oliva
The use of renewable water resources has grown 6 times. In the next 50 years is PREDICTABLE that the population to ENLARGE 40%, this, along with industrialization and urbanization leads to a COMMAND for water that will cause consequences. Already more wastewater generated, still, more than 1 in 10 people NOT HAVE access to FRESH water. 2.6 billion people lack SATISFACTORY sanitation and 3900 children die every day from water-related diseases and this is just poor people, guess how many are in total?
Water resources are becoming scarce Agricultural Crisis As per capita UTILIZATION increases due to changes in lifestyle, and as the population increases, the QUANTITY of water for human use increases, this, with variations in water ACCESSIBILITY, which is that water needed to produce food, Industrial Processes are becoming SCARCE.
Environmental crisis. Increase water use in humans, reduces the availability of water for industrial development and has an impact on the systems and aquatic sea life. Water stress is an OUTCOME from an UNEVENNESS between water and its resources; this PRODUCES a decline in this, in terms of AMOUNT= over-exploitation, dry rivers. And EXCELLENCE:= eutrophicaton, Pollution, saline intrusion.
An Increase in Tensions As water becomes more LIMITED, tensions developed between different CONSUMERS, both nationally and internationally. Over 260 river basins are shared by 2 or more countries; this can lead to border tensions. Towards a way to improve the situation The MODIFICATION of measures can be taken to EVADE an AGGRAVATION of the crisis. The water resources are limited, so they must be COSSETED, "water is everybody's business"
Saving water resources In almost all countries the water is WORN OUT. Thanks to this and many other reasons water CONSUME is RISISNG.
Improving drinking water supply water should be ACKNOWLEDGE as a HUGE PRIORITY, so one of the Millennium Development Goals is to BISECT the people that Lack access to SECURE drinking water and HYGIENE. These are the ACTIONS to be taken: -ASSURANCE right to water -EXPAND local knowledge -ADVANCE financing -ADMINISTER WISELY water resources.
Water Crisis There is a scarcity of water cause by the sanitation problems and the highly usage of this one.
The WORLD’S population TRIPLED in the 20th century, use of renewable WATER resources GROWN SIX-FOLD which have SERIOUS consequences ON the environment. 1.1 billion People have access to SAFE DRINKING water and 2.6 billion people ADEQUATE sanitation. 3900 children DIE every day from water BORNE diseases. Water withdrawals for irrigation REPRESENT 66 % TOTAL withdrawals, 90 % ARID regions, and the other 34 % domestic households, INDUSTRY or EVAPORATE from reservoirs. The SET of water for HUMAN USE is INCREASING. Water to PRODUCE is BECOMING scarce. Increased water use by humans REDUCES is AVAILABLE for industrial and AGRICULTURAL development but has a PROFOUND EFFECT on AQUATIC ecosystems and their dependent species. Water STRESS DEPENDS ON the variability of resources. It causes deterioration of FRESH water resources in terms of QUANTITY and QUALITY. HIGH water stress is based on EXPERT JUDGEMENT and EXPERIENCE. 260 river basins are SHARED by two or more COUNTRIES. CHANGES WITHIN a basin can LEAD to TRANSBOUNDARY tensions. Our freshwater resources are LIMITED and NEED to be PROTECTED. This water CHALLENGE AFFECTS not only water community, but also decision-makers and EVERY human being. HUGE SAVING of water and IMPROVING of it is possible. Water is WASTED, and as long as people are not FACING water SCARCITY, access to water is an OBVIOUS and natural thing. Water CONSUMPTION is BOUND to INCREASE. The MAIN objectives of the World Water Council are to increase AWARENESS of the water ISSUE. GUARANTEE the right to water; DECENTRALIZE the RESPONSIBILITY for water; DEVELOP know-how at the local LEVEL; increase and IMPROVE FINANCING; EVALUATE and MONITOR water resources. PROMOTE PEACE in the use of transboundary water COURSES by ADDRESSING conflicts and fostering co-operation among states and STAKEHOLDERS.
Water Crisis There is a scarcity of water cause by the sanitation problems and the highly usage of this one.
The GLOBAL’S population TREPLE in the 20th century use of renewable H2O resources has RAISE SIX TIMES which have HOLD DANGEROUS consequences ALONG the environment. 1.1 billion People OWN access to GOOD BOOZING water and 2.6 billion people DECENT sanitation. 3900 children PASS AWAY every day from water BEAR diseases. Water withdrawals for irrigation STAND FOR 66 % ENTIRE withdrawals, 90 % WATERLESS regions, and the other 34 % domestic households, FACTORY or VAPORISE from reservoirs. The SET of water for ANTHROPOID PRACTICE is MULTIPLICATING. Water to CREATE is TURNING scarce. Increased water use by human CUT DOWN for industrial and FARMING development but has a FUNDAMENTAL SET UP on MARINE ecosystems and their DEPENDENT species. Water ACCENT COUNT ALONG the variability of resources. It causes deterioration of NEW water resources in terms of SUM and PRIZE. RICHLY water stress is based on SHARP STATEMENT and LIVE. 260 river basins is PORTION OUT by two or more CITIES. CONVERTIONS INSIDE a basin can GUIDE to BORDER tensions. With the PRESENT state of FINANCE, RIGHT measures still can be ASSUME to SPARE the crisis to be AGRAVATE. Our freshwater resources are RESTRICTED and ASK to be SAVED. This water DARE IMPACT not only water community, but also decision-makers and EACH human being. IMMENSE THRIFTINESS of water and AMELIORATE of it is possible. Water is OUTWORN, and as long as people are not CONFRONTING water NEED, access to water is a NOTICEABLE and natural thing. Water UPTAKE is LEAP to AUGMENT. The LEADING objectives of the World Water Council are to increase CONSCIENCE of the water SUBJECT. SECURE the right to water; DESCONCENTRATE the CHARGE for water; WORK OUT know-how at the local STANDARD; increase and UPGRADE CREDIT; REVIEW and SUPERVISE water resources. ADVANCE REST in the use of transboundary water PATH by APPROACHING conflicts and fostering co-operation among states and INTERESTED. by paola arocha
There is more waste water generated and dispersed today than at any other time in the history of our planet. One must know that these figures represent only people with very poor conditions. In reality, these figures should be much higher.
Water withdrawals for irrigation represent 66 % of the total withdrawals and up to 90 % in arid regions, the other 34 % being used by domestic households.
As the per capita use increases due to changes in lifestyle and as population increases as well, the proportion of water for human use is increasing.
It is all the more critical that increased water use by humans does not only reduce the amount of water available for industrial and agricultural development but has a profound effect on aquatic ecosystems and their dependent species.
The concept of Water Stress Source: WaterGAP 2.0 - December 1999
Water stress results from an imbalance between water use and water resources. The water stress indicator in this map measures the proportion of water withdrawal with respect to total renewable resources. It is a criticality ratio, which implies that water stress depends on the variability of resources. Water stress causes deterioration of fresh water resources in terms of quantity. We see that the situation is heterogeneous over the world.
An increase in tensions
As the resource is becoming scarce, tensions among different users may intensify, both at the national and international level. Over 260 river basins are shared by two or more countries. In the absence of strong institutions and agreements, changes within a basin can lead to transboundary tensions. When major projects proceed without regional collaboration, they can become a point of conflicts, heightening regional instability. ____________________________________________________
People lack drinking water and sanitation.
There is ALOT MORE wasted water MADE and MOVED today than at any other time in the history of our EARTH. One must know that these SHAPES STAND only PERSONS with very poor conditions. In REAL LIFE, these figures should be much higher.
LIKE the per capita use increases due to changes in lifestyle and as population gets BIG as well, the PART of water for PEOPLE use is increasing.
It is all the more critical that GETS BIGGER water use by PEOPLE does not only reduce the amount of water available for industrial and agricultural development but has a profound effect on aquatic ecosystems and their dependent species.
An increase in tensions
As THIS is becoming LESS AND MORE LESS, tensions among DISTINCT users may intensify, THE TWO at the national and international level. Over 260 river basins are shared by two or more PLACES. In the absence of strong institutions and agreements, changes within a basin can lead to transboundary tensions.
Water Crisis While the world's population tripled in the 20th century, the use of renewable water resources has grown six-fold. Within the next fifty years, the world population will increase by another 40 to 50 %. This population growth, 3900 children die every day from water borne diseases. The water withdrawals for irrigation represent 66 % of the total withdrawals and up to 90 % in arid regions, the other 34 % being used by domestic households (10 %), industry (20 %), or evaporated from reservoirs (4 %).

Improving drinking water supply
One of the Millennium Development Goals is to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation. To that aim, several measures should be taken: • Guarantee the right to water; • Decentralize the responsibility for water; • Develop know-how at the local level; • Increase and improve financing; • Evaluate and monitor water resources.

THESIS STATEMENT: While the world's population tripled in the 20th century, the use of renewable water resources has grown six-fold. Within the next fifty years, population growth will result in an increasing demand for water and will have serious consequences on the environment.
SUMMARY: People lack drinking water and sanitation: Already there is more waste water generated and dispersed today than at any other time in the history of our planet. Water resources are becoming scarce: Agricultural crisis- Although food security has been significantly increased in the past thirty years, water withdrawals for irrigation represent 66 % of the total withdrawals. Spatial and temporal variations in water availability, are used for water to produce food for human consumption, industrial processes and all the other uses is becoming scarce.
Environmental crisis - It is all the more critical that increased water use by humans has a profound effect on aquatic ecosystems and their dependent species. The concept of Water Stress-The water stress indicator in this map measures the proportion of water withdrawal with respect to total renewable resources; situations are heterogeneous over the world. An increase in tensions- As the resource is becoming scarce, tensions among different users may intensify, both at the national and international level.
Towards a way to improve the situation: There is a increasing awareness that our freshwater resources are limited and need to be protected both in terms of quantity and quality. Saving water resources- Almost everywhere, water is wasted, and as long as people are not facing water scarcity, they believe access to water is an obvious and natural thing, changes in food habits may reduce the problem. Improving drinking water supply: One of the Millenium Development Goals is to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation. To see these we have to be responsible, right people, develop, increase and monitor water. Improving transboundary cooperation- As far as transboundary conflicts are concerned, regional economic developement and cultural preservation can all be strengthened by states cooperating of water. Instead of a trend towards war, water management can be viewed as a trend towards cooperation and peace.
THESIS STATEMENT: MEANWHILE the EARTH’S AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HAS INCREASED THREE TIMES in the LAST century, the USAGE of renewable HIDRILIC resources has grown six-fold. IN the COMING fifty years, population growth will GIVE in an increasing CLAIM for water and will have GRAVE RESULTS on the environment.
People MISSING CONSUME water and sanitation: Already there is MANY DISSCARD water MAKE and SCATTER NOWADAYS COMPARED at any DIFFERENT MOMENT in the history of THE WORLD. Water resources are BEING FEW: Agricultural crisis- Although food PROTECTION security has been AMOUNTLY increased in the past thirty years, water withdrawals for irrigation ARE IDENTIFIED AS 66 % of the total withdrawals. Spatial and temporal variations in water USAGE, are used for water to GIVE OUT food for human consumption, industrial processes and all the other uses is becoming scarce.
Environmental crisis - It is all the more critical that increased water use by humans has a profound effect on WATER ecosystems and their RELATED species. The UNDERSTANDING of Water Stress-The water stress indicator in this map NUMBER RECORD the AMOUNT of water withdrawal with POLITNESS respect OF ALL renewable resources; CONFLICTS are DIFFERENT over thePLANET. An IMPROVE in tensions- As the resource is becoming NOT ENOUGHT, tensions among HETEROGENEOUS users may GROW INTENSIT, both at the NEIGHBOORS and OUTSIDE level.
AS a way to improve the CONFLICT: There is a increasing ALARM that our freshwater resources are NOT INFINITE and need to be protected both in terms of AMOUNTS and CHARACTERISTICS. PROTECTING water resources- IN MOST PLACES, water is NOT WELL USED, and as long as people are not OPEN THEIR EYES TO water LOSSNESS, they THINK access to water IN A CASUAL and NORMAL thing, changes in food habits TO DECREASE THE CONFLICT. INCREASE drinking water COMPLEMENT: One of the Millenium Development Goals is to have, IN 4 YEARS, the AMOUNT of people WITH NO sustainable access to SOLVE drinking water and HIGIENE. To see these we have to be DEMANDING, right people, BE FULL OF THOUGHTS, increase and MEASURE water. Improving transboundary cooperation- As LONG as transboundary conflicts are TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT, regional MONEY PROCESS and cultural PRESERVING can all be POWERFUL by states APPORTING SOLUTIONS of water. Instead of a trend TO war, water WELL USE can be SEEMED as a trend towards COLABORATION and PERFECTION.
By: Rafael S. Frieri C. Title: Water Crisis By: Pablo Chiappe Thesis: The water crisis in the world had increased because of different causes such as over population the lack of instruments to purify water and because of the low percentage of safe water in the world. While the world's population tripled in the 20th century, the use of renewable water resources has grown six-fold. More than one out of six people lack access to safe drinking water, namely 1.1 billion people, and more than two out of six lack adequate sanitation, namely 2.6 billion people. 3900 children die every day from water borne diseases.

Over 260 river basins are shared by two or more countries. In the absence of strong institutions and agreements, changes within a basin can lead to transboundary tensions. Whatever the use of freshwater (agriculture, industry, domestic use), huge saving of water and improving of water management is possible. With urbanization and changes in lifestyle, water consumption is bound to increase. To halve the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation. To that aim, several measures should be taken: •guarantee the right to water; •decentralise the responsibility for water; •develop know-how at the local level; •increase and improve financing; •evaluate and monitor water resources. ------------------------------------------------ By: Rafael S.

Title: Water Crisis By: Pablo Chiappe Thesis: The water crisis in the world had increased because of different causes such as over population the lack of instruments to purify water and because of the low percentage of safe water in the world. While the earth's habitants multiplied 3 times in the 20th century, the use of refoundable water resources has grown six times. More than one out of six people don’t have access to safe drinkable water, more or less 1.1 billion habitants, and more than two out of six lack adequate sanitation, more or less 2.6 billion habitants. 3900 young habitants die every day from water borne sicknesses. The past three decades, water withdrawals for irrigation represent 66 % of the complete withdrawals and up to 90 % in arid places, the other 34 % being used by domestic households (10 %), industrialization (20 %), or evaporated from reservoirs (4 %).The water to produce meals for habitants consumption, industrialization processes and all the other uses is becoming limited. Over 260 streams basins are shared by two or more places. In the absence of good institutions and agreements, modification within a stream can lead to transboundary pressure. Whatever the usage of gleaming water (agriculture, industry, domestic use), huge rescuing of water and advancing of water administration is possible. With urbanization and changes in lifestyle, water consuming is bound to expansion. To halve the proportion of habitants not having sustainable access to secure drinking water and sanitation. To that aim, several measures should be taken: •guarantee the right to water; •decentralise the responsibility for water; •develop know-how at the local level; •increase and improve financing; •evaluate and monitor water resources.

As the capital use increases due to changes in lifestyle and as population increases as well, the proportion of water for human use is increasing. This, means that the water to produce food for human consumption, industrial processes and all the other uses is becoming scarce. Increased water use by humans has a profound effect on aquatic ecosystems and their dependent species. Environmental balances are disturbed. water stress depends on the variability of resources. Water stress causes deterioration of fresh water resources in terms of quantity and quality. The value of this criticality ratio that indicates high water stress is based on expert judgment and experience. It ranges between 20 % for basins with highly variable runoff and 60 % for temperate zone basins. In this map, we take an overall value of 40 % to indicate high water stress. We see that the situation is heterogeneous over the world. Improving of water management is possible. Almost everywhere, water is wasted, and as long as people are not facing Changes in food habits, for example, may reduce the problem, knowing that growing 1kg of potatoes requires only 100 litres of water, whereas 1 kg of beef requires 13 000 litres.

------------------------------------------------------- Water Crisis While the PLANET's PEOPLE INCREASED THREE TIMES MORE in the PAST CENTURY, the use of renewable H2O resources has INCREASED six-fold. A GROWN demand for H2O and will have VITAL RESULTS on the SURROUNDINGS. More than one out of six INDIVIDUALS HAVE NO access to HARMLESS drinking water, and more than two out of six NEEDS adequate sanitation, 3900 KIDS die every day from water borne ILLNESS. As the capital use GROWS due to ALTERATES in lifestyle and as PEOPLE GROWS as well, the proportion of H2O for INDIVIDUALS use is increasing. This, means that the water to GENERATE ALIMENT for PEOPLE consumption, industrial processes and all the other uses is INVOLVING TO scarce. Increased water use by PEOPLE has a profound RESULT on aquatic ENVIRONMENT and their dependent CREATURES. ECOSYSTEM balances are disturbed. Water stress BANK ON on the variability of resources. H2O stress MAKE UP DEGENERATION of fresh water resources in A DESCRIPTION OF A CONCEPT of quantity and quality. The WORTH of this criticality ratio that SHOWS high water stress is CENTER on expert judgment and KNOWLEDGE. It EXTENT between 20 % for basins with highly variable runoff and 60 % for MODERATE zone basins.
MAKING A BETTER management OF WATER is possible. AlmostIN ALL PLACES, water is wasted, and as long as HUMAS are not CONFRONTING Changes in ALIMENT habits, for example, may reduce the MISTAKE, knowing that INCREASING 1kg of VEGESTABLES NEEDS only 100 litres of H2O, wherea s 1 kg of STEAK requires 13 000 litres.
One of the Millenium Development Goals is to halve, by 2015, the RELATIVE AMOUNT of HUMANS THAT DOESN'T HAVE sustainable access to HARMLESS drinking water and sanitation. To that aim, several measures should be taken: • PLEDGE the right to water; • decentralise the WELL KNOW OF MANAGE for water; • develop know-how at the local level; • GROWTH and MAKE BETTER financing; • JUDGE and monitor H2O resources.

The EARTHS PEOPLE THREE TIMES in the PASSED 100 YEARS, the use of renewable H2O resources has BEING BIGGER SIX PLUS TIMES. Within the FUTURE MID CENTURY, the PLANET QUANTITY OF PEOPLE will GREW by another 4x10 to 5x10%. Will EQUAL in an BIGGER ASK FOR for H2O and will have consequences on the NATURAL RESOURCES.
More EXPEND H2O MAKE and SCATTER today than at any other HOUR in the history of our WORLD: more than one out of six people FEW accesses to SECURE drinking H2O, namely 1.1. As the per capita use CHANGE MAGNITUDE due to SWITCH in lifestyle and QUANTITYOF PEOPLE GROWS as well, the HARMONIZE of water for human use is GROWING. These INTEND that the water to MAKE food for human consumption, industrial processes and all the other uses is becoming scarce. GROWS H2O use by humans does not only LOWS the QUANTITY of water ACCESSIBLE for industrial and agricultural development but has a profound effect on aquatic SOURCES and their dependent species. The water EMPHASIZE indicator in this map DETERMINES the proportion of H2O withdrawal with respect to total renewable resources. It is a criticality ratio, which NEEDS that water PUNCTUATE depends on the CHANGING of resources. Water EMPHASISE MAKES deterioration of COOL water resources in CALL of AMOUNT and quality.
As the resource is becoming TIGHT tensions among different users may DETERMINE, both at the national and FOREIGN level. HOWEVER the use of COOL H2O (agriculture, industry, HOUSE use), BIG WARNING of H20 and MODIFYING of water CONTROL is possible. Almost EVERYWHERE, water is USE, and as long as people are not CONFRONTING water scarcity, they THINK RETRIEVE to H2O is an EASY and natural thing.
Water MAY be ACKNOWLEDGE as a BIGGER priority. To that TAKE, SOME measures should be SELECTED:
• PLEDGE the right to H2O; • PRIORITY the responsibility for water; • ADVANCE know-how at the MAIN level; • GROWS and BETTERS financing; • MEASURES and CONTROL water
Haiti's presidential election results delayed by fraud By Moni Basu, CNN
Part 1
Fraud has forced Haiti's election council to delay results of a highly anticipated runoff intended to decide the next leader of the troubled. Results were supposed to have been announced Thursday. But the Provisional Election Council asked for four more days and will post preliminary results on Monday instead. Final results are not expected until April 16.Charges of massive vote-rigging and other irregularities surfaced, and protests erupted for days on the streets of Port-au-Prince and other cities. The second round of elections unfolded peacefully for the most part amid concerns that the return of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a polarizing figure in Haiti, would disrupt the vote. Haiti's next leader will inherit a job laden with challenges as the impoverished country struggles to rebuild after last year's devastating earthquake and a cholera epidemic.
PART 2
Fraud has MAKE haiti´s election council to SUSPEND results of EXTREMELY anticipated runoff PLANNED TO ELECT the next MANDATARY of the troubled. Results were ASSUMED to have been SAID ON Thursday. But the provisional election council DEMANDED for 4 EXTRA days and will PUBLISH preliminary results on Monday instead. Final OUTCOMES are not expected until April 16th. Charges of GREAT vote-rigging and other irregularities CAME OUT, and STRIKES CAME OUT for days in the streets of THE CAPITAL CITY OF HAITI and other cities. The second round of elections unfolded CALMLY for the most part WITHIN concerns that REAPPARENCE of HAITI´S PRESIDENT, a polarizing CHARACTER in THE ISLAND, would disrupt the vote. Haiti´s next PRESIDENT will RECEIVE a job laden with challenges as the IMPROOVEMENT OF THE COUNTRIE´S PROBLEMS to rebuild after last year´s CATASTROPHIE and cholera epidemic.
Water crisis Millions of people in the world die because he doesn’t have a safe source of water to drink, others die because of the sanitation system. And others waste water like it was infinite. The amount of people in the world is increasing and the amount of water is decreasing. Water cannot be response if it ends life will be ended too. If it end there is not another form to bring it again. Water is important for life. And people waste it very fast. Also everywhere the water is wasted, the improvement of the saving water management is almost impossible. Human being will be ended if we don’t pay attention to what is happening. And a little question: What would be us without water?
The currentworld is having changes. Those of this changes is the reduce of the amount of fresh water in the world. That`s why we have to take care of it.
While the world's population tripled in the 20th century, the use of renewable water resources has grown six-fold. This population growth - coupled with industrialization and urbanization - will result in an growing demand for water and will have grave consequences on the atmosphere Already there is more waste water generate and dispersed nowadays than at any other time in the history of our world Although food security has been considerably increased in the past thirty years, water withdrawal for irrigation represent 66 % of the total withdrawals and up to 90 % in arid regions, the other 34 % being used by domestic households (10 %), industry (20 %), or evaporated from reservoirs (4 %). Water stress results from an inequity between water use and water resources. The water stress indicator in this map measures the quantity of water withdrawal with respect to total renewable resources. It is a criticality ratio, which implies that water stress depends on the variability of resources. As the resource is becoming insufficient, tensions among different users may make stronger, both at the national and international level. Over 260 river basins are shared by two or more countries. In the absence of strong institutions and agreements, changes within a basin can lead to transboundary tensions. With the recent state of affairs, correcting measures still can be taken to avoid the crisis to be worsening. There is a increasing awareness that our freshwater resources are limited and need to be protected both in terms of quantity and quality.
Whatever the use of freshwater (agriculture, industry, domestic use), huge saving of water and improving of water management is possible. Almost everywhere, water is wasted, and as long as people are not facing water shortage, they believe access to water is an obvious and natural thing. With urbanization and changes in lifestyle, water utilization is bound to increase. However, change in food habits, for example, may reduce the problem, knowing that growing 1kg of potatoes requires only 100 litres of water, whereas 1 kg of beef requires 13 000 litres.

More than one out of six people lack access to safe drinking water, and more than two out of six lack adequate sanitation, 3900 children die every day from water borne diseases.
As the capital use increases due to changes in lifestyle and as population increases as well, the proportion of water for human use is GROWING. This, means that the water to produce food for human consumption, industrial processes and all the other uses is becoming scarce. Increased water use by humans has AN IMPORTANT effect on aquatic ecosystems and their dependent species. Environmental balances are disturbed. H2O stress depends on the variability of resources. Water stress causes deterioration of fresh water resources in terms of quantity and quality. The value of this criticality ratio that indicates high water stress is based on expert judgment and experience. It ranges between 20 % for basins with highly variable runoff and 60 % for temperate zone basins. In this map, we take an overall value of 40 % to indicate high water stress. We see that the situation is heterogeneous over the world. Improving of water COULD BE POSIBLE. EVERYWHERE, water is wasted, and as long as people are not PROVIDING Changes in food habits, for example, may reduce the problem, knowing that growing 1kg of potatoes requires only 100 litres of water, whereas 1 kg of beef requires 13 000 litres.
One of the Millenium Development Goals is to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation. To that aim, several measures should be taken:
• PROVIDE the right to water; • decentralise the responsibility for water; • develop know-how at the local level; • GUARANTEE and improve financing; • evaluate and monitor water resources.

Water crisis
ResponderEliminarBy: Laura Angulo
Water crisis population is growing, probably as a result of the use of renewable water will increase demand for water and we will have consequences.
People lack drinking water and sanitation
The water is dispersed today than in any other time in the history of our planet. Many people don’t have access to it and die because of this water conditions.
Water resources are becoming scarce
Agricultural crisis
Food has been increased in the past years. Population increases and the proportion of human water for human use is increasing. Industrial processes and all the other uses of water are becoming scarce.
Environmental crisis
Increased water use by humans, doesn’t reduce the amount of water available for industrial and agricultural development but has a profound effect on aquatic ecosystems.
The concept of water stress
Water stress is an imbalance between water use and water resources.
Water stress causes deterioration of fresh water resources interms of quantity and quality. This value of critical ratio, indicates high water stress is based on expert judgment and experience. WE SEE, THAT THIS SITUATION IS HETEROGENEOUS OVER THE WORLD.
An increase in tensions
As the resource is becoming scarce, tensions among different users may intensify, both at the national and international level. 260 river basins are shared by two or more countries.
When major projects proceed without regional collaboration, they can become a point of conflicts, heightening regional instability.
Towards a way to impove the situation
This water challenge affects not only the water community, but also decision-makers and every human being."Water is everybody's business" was one the quotes in the world water forum.
Saving water resources
Whatever the use of freshwater (agriculture, industry, domestic use), huge saving of water and improving of water management is possible..Water is wasted everywhere, and we are not taking care of it. With urbanization and changes in lifestyle, water consumption is bound to increase. Changes in food habits, may reduce the problem, knowing that growing 1kg of potatoes requires only 100 litres of water, whereas 1 kg of beef requires 13 000 litres.
Improving drinking water supply
Water should be recognized as a great priority.
One of the Millenium Development Goals is to have the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Guarantee the right to water, centralize the responsibility of water and so much more ideas to keep water save.
Improving transboundary cooperation
As far as transboundary conflicts are concerned, regional economic developement and cultural preservation can all be strengthened by states cooperating of water.

Although food security has been RADICALLY increased in the past thirty years, water withdrawals for irrigation represent 66 % of the total withdrawals and up to 90 % in arid REGION .As the per capita use increases due to changes in WAY OF LIFE and as population increases as well, the proportion of water for HUMAN BEING use is increasing. It is all the more critical that increased water use by humans does not only DECREASE the amount of water OBTAINABLE for industrial and agricultural development but has a profound effect on aquatic ecosystems and their dependent TYPE .The water stress indicator in this map EVENTS the proportion of water withdrawal with respect to total renewable resources. It is a criticality ratio, which implies that water stress depends on the UNPREDICTABILITY of resources. Water stress causes WORSENING of fresh water resources in terms of quantity The value of this criticality ratio that indicates high water stress is based on expert judgment and experience . It ranges between 20 % for basins with EXTREMELY variable runoff and 60 % for MODERATE zone basins. In this map, we take an IN GENERAL value of 40 % to indicate high water PRESSURE. We see that the STATE OF AFFAIRS is heterogeneous over the world. Over 260 river basins are shared by two or more COUNTRY.

Meanwhile the Earth’s people tripled in the 20th century, the use of renewable water resources has increased six-fold. Within the next fifty years, the planets population will increase by another 40 to 50 %. more than one out of six people lack access to safe drinking water, namely 1.1 billion people, and more than two out of six lack adequate sanitation, namely 2.6 billion people
This, coupled with spatial and temporal variations in water availability, means that the water to make food for people consumption, industrial processes and all the other uses is becoming limited.
It is all the more critical that increased water use by humans does not only decrease the amount of water accessible for industrial and agricultural development but has a profound effect on aquatic ecosystems and their dependent species.
The value of this criticality ratio that indicates high water stress is based on expert judgment and experience (Alcamo and others, 1999).

When the population in the world tripled in the 20th century, the use of water six-folded. Within the next 50 years the worlds people will grow by another 50%, this will increase the demand of safe drinking water.
ResponderEliminarThere’s more people in drinking unsafe water than people in the world drinking clean water in the globe than any other time in the world. One out of sick people lack of safe drinking water (2.2 billion). Closely near 3600 children die because of this. In real, this is higher.
Although agricultural stability has been reached, water withdrawals from the earth represent the 60% or even the 90% in arid regions. This creates water stress. As water begins to scarce tensions between countries grow.
When major projects proceed without regional collaboration, they can become a point of conflicts, heightening regional instability. The Parana La Plata, the Aral Sea, the Jordan and the Danube may serve as examples. Due to the pressure on the Aral Sea, half of its superficies has disappeared, representing 2/3 of its volume. 36 000 km2 of marin grounds are now recovered by salt.
It is possible a huge change in water use, it doesn’t matter the use we give them, IT IS POSSIBLE. Almost everywhere, water is wasted, and as long as people are not facing water scarcity, they believe access to water is an obvious and natural thing.
When the number of people grew on the 20th century, the water expenses grew. Between the next 50 years the worlds population will increase by 50%.the safe drinking water will reduce.
A lot more of the population drink unsafe water.2.2 billion. Near3600 kids die because of this every day. In reality the number is higher.
Even though food security has been reached, the necessity for water is 66% or 90% in deserted places. Water stress is created. Then countries start fighting for water
When a major building starts with no help from the region, it attracts fights. The Parana La Plata, the Aral Sea, the Jordan and the Danube may serve as examples.
IT IS POSSIBLE, it does not matter what use we give water, a huge water change is possible. As long as people does not face water scarcity, they thing water will last forever.

Water Crisis
ResponderEliminarThe use of renewable water resources has grown 6 times. In the next 50 years is PREDICTABLE that the population to ENLARGE 40%, this, along with industrialization and urbanization leads to a COMMAND for water that will cause consequences.
Already more wastewater generated, still, more than 1 in 10 people NOT HAVE access to FRESH water. 2.6 billion people lack SATISFACTORY sanitation and 3900 children die every day from water-related diseases and this is just poor people, guess how many are in total?
Water resources are becoming scarce
Agricultural Crisis
As per capita UTILIZATION increases due to changes in lifestyle, and as the population increases, the QUANTITY of water for human use increases, this, with variations in water ACCESSIBILITY, which is that water needed to produce food, Industrial Processes are becoming SCARCE.
Environmental crisis.
Increase water use in humans, reduces the availability of water for industrial development and has an impact on the systems and aquatic sea life.
Water stress is an OUTCOME from an UNEVENNESS between water and its resources; this PRODUCES a decline in this, in terms of AMOUNT= over-exploitation, dry rivers. And EXCELLENCE:= eutrophicaton, Pollution, saline intrusion.
An Increase in Tensions
As water becomes more LIMITED, tensions developed between different CONSUMERS, both nationally and internationally. Over 260 river basins are shared by 2 or
more countries; this can lead to border tensions.
Towards a way to improve the situation
The MODIFICATION of measures can be taken to EVADE an AGGRAVATION of the crisis. The water resources are limited, so they must be COSSETED, "water is everybody's business"
Saving water resources
In almost all countries the water is WORN OUT. Thanks to this and many other reasons water CONSUME is RISISNG.
Improving drinking water supply
water should be ACKNOWLEDGE as a HUGE PRIORITY, so one of the Millennium Development Goals is to BISECT the people that Lack access to SECURE drinking water and HYGIENE. These are the ACTIONS to be taken:
-ASSURANCE right to water
-EXPAND local knowledge
-ADVANCE financing
-ADMINISTER WISELY water resources.

The WORLD’S population TRIPLED in the 20th century, use of renewable WATER resources GROWN SIX-FOLD which have SERIOUS consequences ON the environment.
1.1 billion People have access to SAFE DRINKING water and 2.6 billion people ADEQUATE sanitation. 3900 children DIE every day from water BORNE diseases.
Water withdrawals for irrigation REPRESENT 66 % TOTAL withdrawals, 90 % ARID regions, and the other 34 % domestic households, INDUSTRY or EVAPORATE from reservoirs.
The SET of water for HUMAN USE is INCREASING. Water to PRODUCE is BECOMING scarce.
Increased water use by humans REDUCES is AVAILABLE for industrial and AGRICULTURAL development but has a PROFOUND EFFECT on AQUATIC ecosystems and their dependent species.
Water STRESS DEPENDS ON the variability of resources. It causes deterioration of FRESH water resources in terms of QUANTITY and QUALITY. HIGH water stress is based on EXPERT JUDGEMENT and EXPERIENCE. 260 river basins are SHARED by two or more COUNTRIES. CHANGES WITHIN a basin can LEAD to TRANSBOUNDARY tensions.
Our freshwater resources are LIMITED and NEED to be PROTECTED. This water CHALLENGE AFFECTS not only water community, but also decision-makers and EVERY human being.
HUGE SAVING of water and IMPROVING of it is possible. Water is WASTED, and as long as people are not FACING water SCARCITY, access to water is an OBVIOUS and natural thing. Water CONSUMPTION is BOUND to INCREASE.
The MAIN objectives of the World Water Council are to increase AWARENESS of the water ISSUE. GUARANTEE the right to water; DECENTRALIZE the RESPONSIBILITY for water; DEVELOP know-how at the local LEVEL; increase and IMPROVE FINANCING; EVALUATE and MONITOR water resources. PROMOTE PEACE in the use of transboundary water COURSES by ADDRESSING conflicts and fostering co-operation among states and STAKEHOLDERS.

Water withdrawals for irrigation STAND FOR 66 % ENTIRE withdrawals, 90 % WATERLESS regions, and the other 34 % domestic households, FACTORY or VAPORISE from reservoirs.
The SET of water for ANTHROPOID PRACTICE is MULTIPLICATING. Water to CREATE is TURNING scarce.
Increased water use by human CUT DOWN for industrial and FARMING development but has a FUNDAMENTAL SET UP on MARINE ecosystems and their DEPENDENT species.
Water ACCENT COUNT ALONG the variability of resources. It causes deterioration of NEW water resources in terms of SUM and PRIZE. RICHLY water stress is based on SHARP STATEMENT and LIVE. 260 river basins is PORTION OUT by two or more CITIES. CONVERTIONS INSIDE a basin can GUIDE to BORDER tensions.
With the PRESENT state of FINANCE, RIGHT measures still can be ASSUME to SPARE the crisis to be AGRAVATE. Our freshwater resources are RESTRICTED and ASK to be SAVED. This water DARE IMPACT not only water community, but also decision-makers and EACH human being.
IMMENSE THRIFTINESS of water and AMELIORATE of it is possible. Water is OUTWORN, and as long as people are not CONFRONTING water NEED, access to water is a NOTICEABLE and natural thing. Water UPTAKE is LEAP to AUGMENT.
The LEADING objectives of the World Water Council are to increase CONSCIENCE of the water SUBJECT. SECURE the right to water; DESCONCENTRATE the CHARGE for water; WORK OUT know-how at the local STANDARD; increase and UPGRADE CREDIT; REVIEW and SUPERVISE water resources.

People lack drinking water and sanitation.
ResponderEliminarThere is more waste water generated and dispersed today than at any other time in the history of our planet. One must know that these figures represent only people with very poor conditions. In reality, these figures should be much higher.
Water withdrawals for irrigation represent 66 % of the total withdrawals and up to 90 % in arid regions, the other 34 % being used by domestic households.
As the per capita use increases due to changes in lifestyle and as population increases as well, the proportion of water for human use is increasing.
It is all the more critical that increased water use by humans does not only reduce the amount of water available for industrial and agricultural development but has a profound effect on aquatic ecosystems and their dependent species.
The concept of Water Stress
Source: WaterGAP 2.0 - December 1999
Water stress results from an imbalance between water use and water resources. The water stress indicator in this map measures the proportion of water withdrawal with respect to total renewable resources. It is a criticality ratio, which implies that water stress depends on the variability of resources. Water stress causes deterioration of fresh water resources in terms of quantity. We see that the situation is heterogeneous over the world.
An increase in tensions
As the resource is becoming scarce, tensions among different users may intensify, both at the national and international level. Over 260 river basins are shared by two or more countries. In the absence of strong institutions and agreements, changes within a basin can lead to transboundary tensions. When major projects proceed without regional collaboration, they can become a point of conflicts, heightening regional instability.

THESIS STATEMENT:
While the world's population tripled in the 20th century, the use of renewable water resources has grown six-fold. Within the next fifty years, population growth will result in an increasing demand for water and will have serious consequences on the environment.
SUMMARY:
People lack drinking water and sanitation: Already there is more waste water generated and dispersed today than at any other time in the history of our planet.
Water resources are becoming scarce: Agricultural crisis- Although food security has been significantly increased in the past thirty years, water withdrawals for irrigation represent 66 % of the total withdrawals. Spatial and temporal variations in water availability, are used for water to produce food for human consumption, industrial processes and all the other uses is becoming scarce.
Environmental crisis - It is all the more critical that increased water use by humans has a profound effect on aquatic ecosystems and their dependent species.
The concept of Water Stress-The water stress indicator in this map measures the proportion of water withdrawal with respect to total renewable resources; situations are heterogeneous over the world.
An increase in tensions- As the resource is becoming scarce, tensions among different users may intensify, both at the national and international level.
Towards a way to improve the situation: There is a increasing awareness that our freshwater resources are limited and need to be protected both in terms of quantity and quality.
Saving water resources- Almost everywhere, water is wasted, and as long as people are not facing water scarcity, they believe access to water is an obvious and natural thing, changes in food habits may reduce the problem.
Improving drinking water supply: One of the Millenium Development Goals is to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation. To see these we have to be responsible, right people, develop, increase and monitor water.
Improving transboundary cooperation- As far as transboundary conflicts are concerned, regional economic developement and cultural preservation can all be strengthened by states cooperating of water. Instead of a trend towards war, water management can be viewed as a trend towards cooperation and peace.

THESIS STATEMENT:
MEANWHILE the EARTH’S AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HAS INCREASED THREE TIMES in the LAST century, the USAGE of renewable HIDRILIC resources has grown six-fold. IN the COMING fifty years, population growth will GIVE in an increasing CLAIM for water and will have GRAVE RESULTS on the environment.
People MISSING CONSUME water and sanitation: Already there is MANY DISSCARD water MAKE and SCATTER NOWADAYS COMPARED at any DIFFERENT MOMENT in the history of THE WORLD.
Water resources are BEING FEW: Agricultural crisis- Although food PROTECTION security has been AMOUNTLY increased in the past thirty years, water withdrawals for irrigation ARE IDENTIFIED AS 66 % of the total withdrawals. Spatial and temporal variations in water USAGE, are used for water to GIVE OUT food for human consumption, industrial processes and all the other uses is becoming scarce.
Environmental crisis - It is all the more critical that increased water use by humans has a profound effect on WATER ecosystems and their RELATED species.
The UNDERSTANDING of Water Stress-The water stress indicator in this map NUMBER RECORD the AMOUNT of water withdrawal with POLITNESS respect OF ALL renewable resources; CONFLICTS are DIFFERENT over thePLANET.
An IMPROVE in tensions- As the resource is becoming NOT ENOUGHT, tensions among HETEROGENEOUS users may GROW INTENSIT, both at the NEIGHBOORS and OUTSIDE level.
AS a way to improve the CONFLICT: There is a increasing ALARM that our freshwater resources are NOT INFINITE and need to be protected both in terms of AMOUNTS and CHARACTERISTICS.
PROTECTING water resources- IN MOST PLACES, water is NOT WELL USED, and as long as people are not OPEN THEIR EYES TO water LOSSNESS, they THINK access to water IN A CASUAL and NORMAL thing, changes in food habits TO DECREASE THE CONFLICT.
INCREASE drinking water COMPLEMENT: One of the Millenium Development Goals is to have, IN 4 YEARS, the AMOUNT of people WITH NO sustainable access to SOLVE drinking water and HIGIENE. To see these we have to be DEMANDING, right people, BE FULL OF THOUGHTS, increase and MEASURE water.
Improving transboundary cooperation- As LONG as transboundary conflicts are TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT, regional MONEY PROCESS and cultural PRESERVING can all be POWERFUL by states APPORTING SOLUTIONS of water. Instead of a trend TO war, water WELL USE can be SEEMED as a trend towards COLABORATION and PERFECTION.

By: Pablo Chiappe
Thesis: The water crisis in the world had increased because of different causes such as over population the lack of instruments to purify water and because of the low percentage of safe water in the world.
While the world's population tripled in the 20th century, the use of renewable water resources has grown six-fold. More than one out of six people lack access to safe drinking water, namely 1.1 billion people, and more than two out of six lack adequate sanitation, namely 2.6 billion people. 3900 children die every day from water borne diseases.
The past thirty years, water withdrawals for irrigation represent 66 % of the total withdrawals and up to 90 % in arid regions, the other 34 % being used by domestic households (10 %), industry (20 %), or evaporated from reservoirs (4 %).The water to produce food for human consumption, industrial processes and all the other uses is becoming scarce.
Over 260 river basins are shared by two or more countries. In the absence of strong institutions and agreements, changes within a basin can lead to transboundary tensions.
Whatever the use of freshwater (agriculture, industry, domestic use), huge saving of water and improving of water management is possible. With urbanization and changes in lifestyle, water consumption is bound to increase.
To halve the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation. To that aim, several measures should be taken:
•guarantee the right to water;
•decentralise the responsibility for water;
•develop know-how at the local level;
•increase and improve financing;
•evaluate and monitor water resources.

More than one out of six people don’t have access to safe drinkable water, more or less 1.1 billion habitants, and more than two out of six lack adequate sanitation, more or less 2.6 billion habitants. 3900 young habitants die every day from water borne sicknesses.
The past three decades, water withdrawals for irrigation represent 66 % of the complete withdrawals and up to 90 % in arid places, the other 34 % being used by domestic households (10 %), industrialization (20 %), or evaporated from reservoirs (4 %).The water to produce meals for habitants consumption, industrialization processes and all the other uses is becoming limited.
Over 260 streams basins are shared by two or more places. In the absence of good institutions and agreements, modification within a stream can lead to transboundary pressure.
Whatever the usage of gleaming water (agriculture, industry, domestic use), huge rescuing of water and advancing of water administration is possible. With urbanization and changes in lifestyle, water consuming is bound to expansion.

While the PLANET's PEOPLE INCREASED THREE TIMES MORE in the PAST CENTURY, the use of renewable H2O resources has INCREASED six-fold. A GROWN demand for H2O and will have VITAL RESULTS on the SURROUNDINGS. More than one out of six INDIVIDUALS HAVE NO access to HARMLESS drinking water, and more than two out of six NEEDS adequate sanitation, 3900 KIDS die every day from water borne ILLNESS.
As the capital use GROWS due to ALTERATES in lifestyle and as PEOPLE GROWS as well, the proportion of H2O for INDIVIDUALS use is increasing. This, means that the water to GENERATE ALIMENT for PEOPLE consumption, industrial processes and all the other uses is INVOLVING TO scarce. Increased water use by PEOPLE has a profound RESULT on aquatic ENVIRONMENT and their dependent CREATURES. ECOSYSTEM balances are disturbed.
Water stress BANK ON on the variability of resources. H2O stress MAKE UP DEGENERATION of fresh water resources in A DESCRIPTION OF A CONCEPT of quantity and quality. The WORTH of this criticality ratio that SHOWS high water stress is CENTER on expert judgment and KNOWLEDGE. It EXTENT between 20 % for basins with highly variable runoff and 60 % for MODERATE zone basins.

ResponderEliminarMore waste water generated and dispersed today than at any other time in the history of our planet: more than one out of six people lack access to safe drinking water, namely 1.1.
As the per capita use increases due to changes in lifestyle and as population increases as well, the proportion of water for human use is increasing. This means that the water to produce food for human consumption, industrial processes and all the other uses is becoming scarce.

Summary with synonyms
The EARTHS PEOPLE THREE TIMES in the PASSED 100 YEARS, the use of renewable H2O resources has BEING BIGGER SIX PLUS TIMES. Within the FUTURE MID CENTURY, the PLANET QUANTITY OF PEOPLE will GREW by another 4x10 to 5x10%. Will EQUAL in an BIGGER ASK FOR for H2O and will have consequences on the NATURAL RESOURCES.
More EXPEND H2O MAKE and SCATTER today than at any other HOUR in the history of our WORLD: more than one out of six people FEW accesses to SECURE drinking H2O, namely 1.1.
As the per capita use CHANGE MAGNITUDE due to SWITCH in lifestyle and QUANTITYOF PEOPLE GROWS as well, the HARMONIZE of water for human use is GROWING. These INTEND that the water to MAKE food for human consumption, industrial processes and all the other uses is becoming scarce. GROWS H2O use by humans does not only LOWS the QUANTITY of water ACCESSIBLE for industrial and agricultural development but has a profound effect on aquatic SOURCES and their dependent species.
The water EMPHASIZE indicator in this map DETERMINES the proportion of H2O withdrawal with respect to total renewable resources. It is a criticality ratio, which NEEDS that water PUNCTUATE depends on the CHANGING of resources. Water EMPHASISE MAKES deterioration of COOL water resources in CALL of AMOUNT and quality.
As the resource is becoming TIGHT tensions among different users may DETERMINE, both at the national and FOREIGN level.
HOWEVER the use of COOL H2O (agriculture, industry, HOUSE use), BIG WARNING of H20 and MODIFYING of water CONTROL is possible. Almost EVERYWHERE, water is USE, and as long as people are not CONFRONTING water scarcity, they THINK RETRIEVE to H2O is an EASY and natural thing.
Water MAY be ACKNOWLEDGE as a BIGGER priority. To that TAKE, SOME measures should be SELECTED:
• PLEDGE the right to H2O;
• PRIORITY the responsibility for water;
• ADVANCE know-how at the MAIN level;
• GROWS and BETTERS financing;

Haiti's presidential election results delayed by fraud
ResponderEliminarBy Moni Basu, CNN
Part 1
Fraud has forced Haiti's election council to delay results of a highly anticipated runoff intended to decide the next leader of the troubled.
Results were supposed to have been announced Thursday. But the Provisional Election Council asked for four more days and will post preliminary results on Monday instead. Final results are not expected until April 16.Charges of massive vote-rigging and other irregularities surfaced, and protests erupted for days on the streets of Port-au-Prince and other cities. The second round of elections unfolded peacefully for the most part amid concerns that the return of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a polarizing figure in Haiti, would disrupt the vote. Haiti's next leader will inherit a job laden with challenges as the impoverished country struggles to rebuild after last year's devastating earthquake and a cholera epidemic.

Water crisis
ResponderEliminarMillions of people in the world die because he doesn’t have a safe source of water to drink, others die because of the sanitation system. And others waste water like it was infinite.
The amount of people in the world is increasing and the amount of water is decreasing. Water cannot be response if it ends life will be ended too. If it end there is not another form to bring it again. Water is important for life. And people waste it very fast.
Also everywhere the water is wasted, the improvement of the saving water management is almost impossible. Human being will be ended if we don’t pay attention to what is happening. And a little question:
What would be us without water?

Water crisis
ResponderEliminarThe currentworld is having changes. Those of this changes is the reduce of the amount of fresh water in the world. That`s why we have to take care of it.
While the world's population tripled in the 20th century, the use of renewable water resources has grown six-fold. This population growth - coupled with industrialization and urbanization - will result in an growing demand for water and will have grave consequences on the atmosphere
Already there is more waste water generate and dispersed nowadays than at any other time in the history of our world
Although food security has been considerably increased in the past thirty years, water withdrawal for irrigation represent 66 % of the total withdrawals and up to 90 % in arid regions, the other 34 % being used by domestic households (10 %), industry (20 %), or evaporated from reservoirs (4 %).
Water stress results from an inequity between water use and water resources. The water stress indicator in this map measures the quantity of water withdrawal with respect to total renewable resources. It is a criticality ratio, which implies that water stress depends on the variability of resources.
As the resource is becoming insufficient, tensions among different users may make stronger, both at the national and international level. Over 260 river basins are shared by two or more countries. In the absence of strong institutions and agreements, changes within a basin can lead to transboundary tensions.
With the recent state of affairs, correcting measures still can be taken to avoid the crisis to be worsening. There is a increasing awareness that our freshwater resources are limited and need to be protected both in terms of quantity and quality.
Whatever the use of freshwater (agriculture, industry, domestic use), huge saving of water and improving of water management is possible. Almost everywhere, water is wasted, and as long as people are not facing water shortage, they believe access to water is an obvious and natural thing. With urbanization and changes in lifestyle, water utilization is bound to increase. However, change in food habits, for example, may reduce the problem, knowing that growing 1kg of potatoes requires only 100 litres of water, whereas 1 kg of beef requires 13 000 litres.
