Faces Looming Water Crises
Here is my article.
I chose this topic because the article revealed Tokyo where I lived was categorized as a town which has medium to high risk of water shortage, and it was unexpected. Moreover, it was expressed that water deficits are becoming serious issue as the global warming proceeds in the article.
I like this author’s expression ‘ ‘Farmers can switch from water-intensive crops, like rice, and instead grow less-thirsty crops like millet.’’ Author uses the expression ‘Thirsty’ to describe the kind of crops which consume less water. I think the word choice made the explanation more descriptive to the reader.
This article sharpened my awareness toward the environment because the water shortage is so world-wide problem that I must care about. However, this article also clarifies that some people make the condition worse; such as, polluting water reserves by wasting garbage. This article conveys that it is significant to share the same and proper recognition among people when we cooperatively work to solve big obstacles.
