The Future of Nature: 2075

Day 3: The Water Crisis

Welcome back to day 3 of this blog. Many people have decided to combat the furious climate changes at hand but there's still a problem. The water crisis is becoming an issue. Basically, the water crisis is the term that describes when a region's demand of water is greater than the amount of available water. This is not  a good thing becasue water is the basic staple of life and many people will suffer a great deal of pain and pressure without the availability of the water. Aquifers are dried because people keep taking the water a lot faster than it can be replaced. Droughts are becoming more frequent and many people are not able to grow their crops because the soil has been damaged.

The water crisis can cause overuse and pollution of water which in turn, can harm biodiversity. With so little water available, many people will be fighting over it and that can cause warfare and fights. Waterborne diseases and contaminated water will spread and will kill thousands. I hope someone has the guts to stand up and find some effective solutions to solve this major problem, and fast!
