Nowadays, one serious problem in this planet has to do
with water. Depending on where we are this problem can be related with aspects
such as the lack of water (the access to it) or the quality of it. Ancient civilizations
needed water just like we do but the problem with this natural resource is that
some people think water is always going to be available for us, even if we don’t
use it wisely or even if we don’t care about its sustainable management.
Considering the lack of water we can find places in Africa where people walk a
long way to get just a few litres. And in terms of the quality, there are
places where fresh and clean water is not as common as it is in a capital city.
Indeed, apart from having difficulties to get drinking water some people also
get sick and die because the water they drink is contaminated. More details: http://blueplanetnetwork.org/water/
Similarly, in this long and thin country the quality
of drinking water is not the best. Even though we are far from Africa, we can
still see this problem in Valle Grande (Región
Metropolitana) or in Alto Hospicio
where water is contaminated with arsenic. The contamination of drinking water
is a problem in more than eight cities in Chile, where regulations have failed
to offer people the access to clean and fresh water.
The importance of using water wisely refers to the
urgency of finding ideas to make people aware of this problematic situation. This
is a vital element for our bodies to function and on an average human being, water
makes up 70% -75% of the body weight so why regulations for companies not to contaminate
water are not popular? Or why governments are not implementing as many
conservation water programmes as we need here and around the world? Read more ideas:

To conclude, life without water is not possible so
what are we going to do when we feel thirsty but we’re not going to be able to
drink a glass of water? Or when, with no rain and the obvious consequences with
crops, we can’t grow vegetables? Water is the most important nutrient for our
bodies and because it helps digest our food and to transport waste in our body
we really need to take some actions to change, or even better, to solve the
problem with the access and quality of water.
