Water scarcity

Water scarcity 


Even if we all think that we have an unlimited resource of clean water, it’s wrong. 70% of the earth is water but only 3% of it is clean water, otherwise the rest of it is either in the glaciers or it’s not usable for the humankind. On earth 1.1 billion people lack of water asses, 2.7 billion people find water scarce for at least one month of the year. 2.4 billion people are exposed to diseases from inadequate sanitation. The Rivers, the lakes are drying up or becoming too polluted to use because of the human activity. Agriculture utilize more water than any other source and wastes much of that water. Because there are a lot of dries out all over the world, it affects the climate change. If it continues like this, it can only get worse. Because of pollution, agriculture and population growth.

    All these facts you’ve said are the sad truth of our miss usage of our water. You are right about we needing more water because have our high plant population, but we are living in a water crisis right now.

    I never knew that we don't truly have a unlimited resourced of clear water. With this information, I think people need to realize that we can not continue to take advantage of such a great treasure that some of us are fortunate to access freely.

    I think more individuals need to realize that there's limited access to water in some place of the world and that we all should be more grateful that we have the resources to have access to water. Great post though!

Land Loss

 Hannah Bailey  There have been posts about sea levels rising however its not just affecting the sea. The water rising is also affecting the land. There is always the conspiracy that Florida will be fully submerged. It is stated on “the travel” page that Florida could be submerged as soon as 2050. This means that section of land will become apart of the sea life ecosystem. All of the oil preserves, the towns, even maybe cars would be submerged and begin to add more pollution to the ocean. This would require the citizens on Florida to have to reside elsewhere. Around 20 square mile of land has been consumed by sea levels rising. That is equivalent to 9,680 football fields of land gone. The image shown is a demonstration of what Florida will begin to look like if we dont take action fast. It is imperative that we save Florida for the citizens, land history, and for the oceans sake.  https://www.thetravel.com/florida-underwater-soon-stats/ https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast...

Wildlife Conservation

  Wildlife conservation is the way of practicing the protection of the animal species and the  habitats they survive in. The Endangered Species Act,  is the establishment and protection of public lands animals live in, and the responsibility of public practices that conserve wild animal populations.  With The earth continuing to grow at a fast rate, it is also meaning that more and more humans are taking up natural resources. This is endangering the existence of animals and their habitats. Programs like the  World Wildlife Fund and  the Wildlife Conservation Society are working every day to slow down the extinction of animals and also protect the earth's biodiversity at the same time.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/wildlife-conservation/

Land Reclamation

 Hannah Bailey Land Reclamation  Land is becoming more scarce as humans produce more technology and as the world wide population continues to increase. Land reclamation is "the process of creating new land from the sea." One way of doing this is by placing certain amount of big rocks and cement into a certain location in the water. To fill in between the rocks they place soil and sand until the new manmade land is at its desired height. This benefits the human race by creating land however, how does this impact our waters? How about the sea creatures? Is this damaging the environment? This does impact all of those things. In areas that use have high amount of crab and fish are seeing less and less. The underwater habitats are being destroyed. There was a reclamation project in China that was restricted for the harm against marine life. The picture shown is the progress the China project had before it was prohibited.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetar...
