Tenets of Journalism

Considering the information that my group and I discovered, we concluded that the water crisis at hand is quite intriguing. I was not surprised by the fact that California is currently experiencing a drought due to the vast increase in temperature. As I knew prior knowledge, the areas that are closer to the equator are susceptible to possessing high temperatures These high temperatures ultimately lead to droughts, which is essentially a notable lack of rainfall that leads to a low supply of water. A concept that stood out to me regarding the water crisis in California was that the state relies more on the snowpack in the mountains to store water, rather than the occurrences of rain. This made me wonder how snow is utilized more as an essential source of water rather than rain being the main source. In the aspect of the global water crisis being an environmental justice issue, I believe that it is. Due to how environmental justice is essentially a fair treatment of all people on Earth regarding the environment, the global water crisis falls into this concept. Since humans rely so much on the water to survive if this water is not accessible to all that would have a great correlation to environmental justice issues.
