Americans certainly do use a lot of water. According to CBS News, the average American uses 150 gallons of water per day, while residents of the U.K. only use 40 gallons per day and residents of China use just 22 gallons per day.According to a new report released by the Natural Resources Defense Council, more than one-third of all counties in the lower 48 states will likely be facing very serious water shortages by 2050. That is just 38 years away. As water becomes more scarce and as big global corporations lock up available supplies, the price of water is almost certainly going to skyrocket. This will put even more economic pressure on average Americans.
Another popular opinion is that the amount of available freshwater is decreasing because of climate change. Climate change has caused receding glaciers, reduced stream and river flow, and shrinking lakes and ponds. Many aquifers have been over-pumped and are not recharging quickly. Although the total fresh Of water sweet don’t use not,but we have to continue to the water passion also needs.
water supply is not used up, much has become polluted, salted, unsuitable or otherwise unavailable for drinking, industry and agriculture. To avoid a global water crisis, farmers will have to strive to increase productivity to meet growing demands for food, while industry and cities find ways to use water more efficiently.
Although a mere 0.014% of all water on Earth is both fresh and easily accessible (of the remaining water, 97% is saline and a little less than 3% is hard to access), technically, there is a sufficient amount of freshwater on a global scale, for humanity to get by. However, due to unequal distribution (exacerbated by climate change) resulting in some very wet and some very dry geographic locations, plus a sharp rise in global freshwater demand in recent decades, humanity is facing a water crisis, with demand expected to outstrip supply by 40% in 2030, if current trends continue.
This world will not end by a world war, an asteroid, a virus, a natural disaster, a specificman-made disaster, or any of the other typical events people imagine. And it’s not that some (or even all) of these things won’t occur between now and the time of the End, and be extremely devastating to life on the planet, even significantly reducing the Earth’s population by their cumulative effects. and we know we will die.and for finish the water of the earth.and the humans cant do anything.

part 2:
what questions did you need to research in order to research your topic?
the important question i have been researching about is water shortages.and do people have a way to prevent water shortages? but the answer i did not get was,why do not they find a way to convert water to food.
what new of familiar digital tools did you try to use as you worked through this project?
i helped the school library site but google and vicipedia helped me a lot too.
what was the process you used to investigate the topic?
I’m always afraid of dying and I’m scared of a lot of water. In my country there is a watering day that he has been dry for a long time. My country is very warm. In return, Canada is. But the problem is that water scarcity is a serious problem. Because we have water, but there is little water or sweet water.
how did you verify and cite the information you found?
I did not have much to do with the library site, and I received more answers than Wikipedia. Under Wikipedia, the entire text can be translated into another language, and I could more easily figure out what I’m writing and what I’m answering. Of course, most of my answers came from Google.
how did the process of completing this challenge go?what could you have done better?
This project helped me get started with the elementary science of science at the beginning of the science class. I find the biggest question I have, which has its own hardship. The greatest of them was that this was my first project in English.
