Water Importance


Drinking water is as important as the water we use for hygiene and personal needs. Most of the water used in the world is used in agriculture. We need agriculture for us to have food, and we need food to survive. Many villages and communities around the world don't have the same advantages as the ones who are privileged and have the ability to enjoy these advantages. One of these advantages is to have a toilet, a sink and shower in your household, if lucky, one per person or room in the house. Some families are not even able to find water to drink and to fulfill their essential needs. We citizens of the world have to work together on implementing residual water systems in which the water containing wastes gets cleaned up and reused. Some people may not even be aware these systems exist, but they do. The types of wastes in water that can be recyclable include soap from washing, and human wastes in toilets. As out current events teacher showed us a video showing children in India are getting violently assaulted on their way to toilets. You may wonder, “how is that possible, a toilet is usually inside your house.” Well this is the reality in impoverished villages were bathrooms are shared among the people of the village. These bathrooms or “toilets” may not even be complete they are latrines, or wholes in the ground where people go and do their necessities. People in these impoverished areas have even taught themselves to use the bathroom once a day, this not healthy your organs are not supposed to hold up that long for you to deposit your wastes. It is incredible to see, that people don’t have what is essential for them right there in their lives, like water, food or toilets.
