Summary Of Water By Fishman

With no working water many have substituted, showers for “Bird Baths”. ‘That includes deciding whether to use precious water hauled from the local fire stations for the “bird baths” Mrs Gallegos says everyone now has instead of showers, or flushing the toilet’(Source 2). Using the toilet is also a everyday dilemma some have resorted to doing their business outside. “Sometimes,” she says, nodding towards her youngest child, “when she needs to go, I just take her outside”(Source 2). Many have not taken showers in months, because of the lack of water. “For Angelica Gallegos, the worst part has been going without a shower for five months”(Source 2). The lack of water has also had a strain on people's pockets, some dive out of town to take proper showers. “When it first went dry, we used to drive to my daughter’s house in Visalia about 45 minutes away to have a shower,” he says. “But it was costing a lot of money in gas”(Source

Water Wars In the Sacramento Bee, an excerpt of Mat Weiser’s article “Water Controversies Boil Over” shines some light on one of the biggest environmental issues we struggle with today: water wars. Although the article was published back in April 26, 2009, it still makes excellent points on today’s water debacle. Weiser informs the public of the situation we have put ourselves in, by our poor management we have created an international crisis.

have lost much of their water. “1,300 people have lost their water in and around East Porterville”

I had the opportunity to attend water day for the second session at 12:30pm to 1:45pm. During the session we watched a documentary. In the documentary “Water and Power: A California Heist” the main fact the film mentioned was that water is power. The documentary mentioned that water was able to control everything, the film said, “the more water we need the more water we will always need”. The need for water was controlling our water worldwide, the wells were becoming dry and our need for water just keeps increasing.

The dust settled as the last vehicle departed the newly established ghost town. What was once a bustling rural community in eastern Colorado, complete with a school and church, and businesses off the main street, has become deserted due to a lack of water. This has become an all too familiar scene in rural communities across Colorado as the increasing demand for water and the dwindling water supply pits water users against one another. The state’s free market style of appropriating water, known as prior appropriation, allows for this highly competitive, and often detrimental situation to persist. As climate change and population growth continue to strain the water supply in Colorado, it will be necessary to adjust the strict prior appropriation

Among all of the resources in the world, there is one that we do not often consider to be diminishing. The masses take this resource, water, for granted. When the average person takes a single look at a world map, they see multiple blue oceans covering the Earth. But, although we are surrounded by water, our clean water reserves dwindle rapidly. In her article, “Water Works”, Cynthia Barnett attempts to bring this issue to greater light and offers her own solutions. While I agree with many of Barnett’s points, she fails to look at the arguments of her detractors to the detriment of her already flawed case.

Currently California is facing a water shortage. The issue has been addressed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in February. He called for all state agencies to find the way to help in the statewide water shortage. This is California’s third consecutive year of drought and last spring and summer was the worst of the season because it had the lowest amount of water recorded and California’s reservoirs were at their lowest point as well which did not help in the water shortage. Many agencies have been acquired to find possible solutions to the water shortage, the Department of Water Resources has been directed to find solutions to the problem as well as asking people to conserve water.

When drinking water is not accessible, the dangers of a hurricane escalate, especially in critical places like hospitals and police stations. The City of Beaumont lost water access on a Thursday and did not have clean water to deliver to residents until Sunday.

There is a town out of water because of the farmers using too much water for their crops.There is no doubt that California is a big farming country evenly as important since California is in a big drought, without doubt farmers use a lot of water.If they use all the water the city won't have water.Private wells have gone dry before in California, Again not on a scale such as that in East Porterville this summer.-

Consequently,“Officials say at least 1,300 people have lost their water in and around East Porterville, nearly three hours’ drive north of Los Angeles, making the town’s residents some of the hardest hit victims of the three-year-old drought” (Source 2).“Sometimes,” she says, nodding towards her youngest child, “when she needs to go, I just take her outside” (Source 2). Countless people have lost water making it troublesome to even do daily tasks including whole towns. People don’t even want to waste their water

The article “Water in Your Glass Might Be Older Than the Sun” presented in the New York Times (Times) by Nicholas St. Fleur is based on the article “The ancient heritage of water ice in the solar system” from Science magazine by Cleeves et al., and while the Times article correctly summarizes the article in Science, it is written in a manner that uses vague words to appeal to a general audience and the article disregards a majority of important information. The article from the Times begins by explaining the theory of waters’ origin, stating that it is from ice specks that existed in a cosmic cloud before the Sun’s formation. In order to test the theory, the Times article goes on to say that water from the oceans were analyzed, specifically

Over the past 4 years the water crisis has been rearing its mean head not only across the globe, but here in our home country, in the state of California. The citizens in California have moved having a normal lawn of grass into the luxury category. Not only have lakes and rivers dried up, but reservoirs that provide water for the entire state have dropped to hazardous levels. In Calaveras County, home of the state’s fourth largest reservoir, levels of water have dropped to only 20% capacity.

Water is an essential substance which is needed by all human beings to survive. It has also enabled us to live in well-furnished houses that have free flowing water in the taps, showers and even some to help us support with our daily use. In a developed country like the US; water has been the most essential thing that has been able to accommodate its citizens. Living the American standards means having flushing toilets, hot and cold showers, swimming pools in the front or the backyard or your house, washing machine and a big house that shines everywhere with electricity (Bradley 1962). Unlike someone else living in Africa or India that have to walk for miles and miles each day in order to find water, in the United States water is always readily available even one that you can use to irrigate your lawn.

Consequently, “When it first went dry, we used to drive to my daughter’s house in Visalia about 45 minutes away to have a shower,” he says. “But it was costing a lot of money in gas” (Source2). When the citizens went into a drought they were too afraid to even flush the toilet, therefore wasting the bit of only precious water that they have left. Or even to just take a simple shower you would need to drive 45 minutes or farther if you didn't know anybody there.
