What are we going to do when water becomes scarce?It's a question that sends a little chill down me every time. I grew up in the north east. Water conservation was not something that was on our minds and we had the half hour showers to prove it. One summer we went to California to visit family during a drought. That was my first introduction to water shortages and how they affected peoples lives. I went back home with a new awareness to a problem that's eerily invisible to too many people. If you look even deeper it just gets worse. Most of the world doesn't have the luxury of our water conservation. Many struggle to just have subsistence.I've been looking for a good way to introduce my friends to the problem of water shortages for a long time. Everyone needs to be involved if we ever hope to solve these problems.This essay starts with a thorough introduction to the problem. It then includes solutions that everyone could and should apply to their everyday lives to slow down and hopefully stop the coming crises of water. It's empirical without being filled with jargon. This is an essay I will be sharing to spread the cause of water conservation.For all of our sake, I hope you do the same.
