Global Water Crisis Info-graphic

Something that stood out to me was the Flint Michigan incident. The crisis has affected 90 people they have become sickened and 12 people have died. The water was contaminated by high lead level and a water born legionnaires disease. Also some places that are going through global water crisis are Brazil, Iran, Indian,  and China. Water around the world is greatly affected and we don't really notice about it because since we live at an area where water is in good conditions we tends to only worry about our selves and not think outside the box. I think that global water crisis is an environmental justice issue because the environment is being harmed, which is where we get our water from so if the water is contaminated we will not have anything to drink going into dehydration and maybe death.

In doing the Research for Water Crisis I've learned that cities in the US are at risk of drought and citizens are being advised to consume only 13.2 gallons a day. Two thirds of the world may be struggling this water crisis by the year 2025. Drying rivers and high temperatures caused by climate change plays parent to future droughts. People without access to clean water are subject to more diseases and 844 million are living without access to a toilet or drinking water. Things we can do to attack the issue is help funding countries with water crisis issue and develop plans to build well and sewage systems.

The water crisis is an environmental justice issue simply because everything does revolve around water. Climate change causing trouble heating up water, flint found in water, potentially hurting animals, plants, including us. All problems from the water crisis need to be solved.



Global Water Issues

​While doing this assignment I learned that many people are suffering around the world because they do not have access to clean water. There are diseases they are more prone to because they do not have toilets. That is something that really stood out to me because I never really think of having a toilet as a privilege and it just really caused me to think about the amount of things that are in my life that are privileges. I also feel as though this is an environmental justice issue because waters are being polluted and it affects no only humans but animals too.

Something that I really took away from assignment is the importance of water. Water affects ecosystems, environment, and our health. However, water can also affect education and the economy. With no water in schools or no water in general, it can lead kids to drop out to withhold the responsibility for hauling water. Gathering water takes away not only from education but for people to pursue job opportunities. I believe that water is a environmental justice issue because water is a right that all people should have. It's such a necessity that shouldn't be taken away or have to be earned. 

Water Crisis

During this project I learned a couple of new things about the water crisis around the world and in Philadelphia. I also learned some of the ways people access water during a water crisis, how people are affected by it and some ways in which we can work the situation out. However, it was made clear during this project that a water crisis is definitely an environmental justice issue. As we all know, every organism needs water in order to survive, and due to factors such as global warming and overpopulation, the amount of readily available water is greatly affected. This means that everyone who deals with a water crisis, has a hard time getting water, and it not only affects humans and organisms, but nature. Meaning that a water crisis definitely falls under the category of an environmental justice issue.
