One of the most horrible problems among almost all countries is the lack of
water
. There are a number of reasons for
this
, and I will suggest ways to solve
this
problem in
this
essay.
Firstly
, I will discuss, how human beings should avoid
water
pollution and
secondly
, I will share how the government should take care of oceans and rivers.
To begin
with, when people dump waste and harmful chemicals into the seas it causes serious problems associated with what we drink.
Water
becomes dirty or even harmful to our health. One solution for
this
problem could be to control factories and manufactories which are located in the countryside near the sea or lakes and not to drop garbage into them.
As a result
, many cubic meters of
water
will be saved for use in all areas of our lives,
such
as household use.
Also
, it will rescue marine life due to the clean environment.
Secondly
, the government is directly to blame for
this
disaster due to the lack of money spent on environmental protection.
Moreover
,
water
is irrationally and inappropriately used in many areas.
Consequently
, if the government makes drinking
water
expensive people will use it accurately being afraid of losing money.
This
is very good exemplified by Germany where bills for cold and hot
water
are very high and
this
is the
first
reason why people treat it carefully.
This
solution is appropriate for every remote point on the planet. In conclusion, careful
water
consumption, expensive utilities and maritime pollution penalties will immediately improve the situation we have faced with.
