Water is one of the most essential things to our ever day life which includes our survival on this planet. It gives us what we need to clean ourselves, quench our thirst, grow our foods, and many other uses that benefits us. Water has always been good for us, and in return we take advantage by over using the source, polluting our lakes, rivers, and oceans with garbage, waste, and harmful chemicals.
In many overpopulated countries such as China, there are barely enough water for everyone to use. According to the Chinese Statistical Yearbook 2007, Beijing consumes more water annually than its water resources combined. With water decreasing within the last ten years, fishes are unable to swim upstream, therefore creating food shortages of fishes states Daniel Enking.
With no where to put our sewage, waste and left over chemicals from factories, it all goes out to the rivers, lakes, and oceans. With the pollutions that comes from us, we are hurting animals, plants, and ourselves who are depending on water for our survival.
