Introduction.
The source of life on the planet Earth is about to be exhausted. People’s carelessness and ignorance had been the cause of water overconsumption. Now that people are communicating globally and have more technology, there are ways to educate people and teach that water is running out and there are ways to stop the wasteful use of water around the world.
After many years of constantly using water, people are finishing wells, lakes and rivers.
Water constitutes an indispensable element for the development of life and human activities. Humanity across time has required more and more water to realize daily activities.
Consumption is not the only problem; also pollution is a big problem people have to deal with. Although this problem has been reduced by improvement in education, people still pollute water. Water pollution is divided in two categories: Point Source and non-point source, the non-point source pollution being the most problematic.
The consequences of polluted water are seen in the human body through digestive and stomach diseases, cancer, heart diseases, and also problems outside the body. These diseases are cause by polluted water with pathogens, viruses, bacteria, and industrial wastes. These kinds of problems are usually non-point source pollution.
Pollution not only affects human life, it also affects flora and fauna inside and outside water bodies. It also affects the food chain extinguishing species of algae, fish, crustaceans and whales. Corals are delicate ecosystems where several species of animals live. There are some campaigns and precautions in beaches to protect corals.
Humans are responsible for what is happening with water, so each time humans plan new ways to save life’s greatest resource, one of many solutions that man has is water treatment by machines and chemicals that are not too harmful to health.
Other solutions include tanks and sewage deposits, which help in the process of decontamination of water. If the people start taking care of water, the next generation may have a better future being able to enjoy this vital liquid.
