The effects of Lacking Water on us Humans

Water is something that almost everyone takes for granted in the United States.  We drink it, we bathe in it, it’s how our food gets prepared, there are so many uses and it’s almost as we don’t realize what would happen if we ran out of water.  The source I used for this data is an article “What Happens if We Run Out of Water?”  This website www.envirotech-online.com specializes on evnironmetal topics and they have many expert analysts doing work and finding out data on issues just like water shortage. Water Shortage has been a huge issue for Americans and it’s only going to get worse with the amount of water that we are using.  

We waste our water in so many ways because we use it excessively, because of poor agricultural technologies, agriculture remains the major user of water sources in most of the region’s countries. There is a low level of efficiency in the utilization of water in all sectors that use water, typically between 37% and 53%.  In Middle Eastern Countries, water governance remains fragmented among various institutions, which generates problems of the rationalization of water use. The problem is further aggravated by the high rate of population increase, the geographical location of the region’s countries in the Great Desert belt, and the lack of national programs to rationalize water consumption.

Besides the social effect of Water Shortage, our planet Earth is also suffering because along with many natural disasters: Earthquakes are very common due to this issue. The overly buoyant crust rises which releases pressure on fault lines, which triggers the tectonic plate movements that cause earthquakes because the Earth’s crust is so light.  It also takes a huge toll on your physical health, less water also means sewage does not flow, and mosquitoes are other insects breed on still dirty water. The result is deadly malaria and other infections in some Middle Eastern and African Countries.
