Persuasive Essay On Water Crisis
In a world that's over 70% covered with water, it's hard to believe that there could ever be a water crisis. However, with 98% of the Earth's
water being undrinkable, that only leaves less than 3% of this water drinkable and with over 7 billion people on this planet, well, it can start to
get scarce. Ever since humans have been on this Earth, especially during the Industrial and Agricultural Revolution, they have become the number
one largest polluter on the planet. Whether it be from agricultural runoff, oil spills, even deforestation, humans are digging themselves a hole that
will only get harder to dig themselves out of as time goes on. As this path of pollution continues, humans are creating crises all over the globe,

The inhabitants of Flint have been exposed to unsanitary and unsafe drinking water for a few years too many now, and it all started with

a small amount of lead isn't all that harmful, it is even present in many water supplies in schools and businesses, so how much an an increase is

lead]" ( Leber) and when there is twenty–five parts per billion of lead present in their drinking water, that's a little harder to fix. Some state that
the Filtration Voucher program beginning to take place in Flint is a cost effective solution over replacing all the lead filled pipes and crumbling
water infrastructure, "A number of households and restaurants in Flint have already installed reverse–osmosis filtration systems, which can
eliminate contaminants like lead..." (Marchand) however this is still far from a solution and is only putting a bandaid over a large gash. Stopping
the pollution of the water supply is what will fix the problem because it not only benefits the people of flint, but also the surrounding environment,
the plants and animals in the environment, and people all across the globe. The problem solving has to start somewhere and it can't be through the
use of temporary fixes, but through the use of permanent
