Water Whispers

Welcome to the "Water Whispers" Blog.
The intention of this blog is to spread information about water and make readers participate with whatever they know about the displayed topic. I’m aware of the multiple blogs and websites covering the water issues. I’m also alert for the fact that many people out there don’t have the slightest idea of the alarming situation the water outdraws this precise moment around the entire world. For that, main reason information should be spread as much as possible everywhere.

Clean Water is Becoming Dirty

Many developing countries are facing water scarcity and many more will joined the dryness. It might seem strange to comprehend such reality when we know that water is constantly moving in a cycle for millions of years. We call it the water cycle. The quantity of water is the same now as it was before. Then why all the fuss and worries about water scarcity? There are many reasons behind water scarcity. Probably the number one cause for scarcity is that fresh water is getting dirty because of pollution. Next, we have the changes in the weather where catastrophic events are occurring more frequently then ever. Whenever floods and destruction from hurricanes, tornadoes, and tsunamis occur, the water system suffers from its incident. In addition, when disasters related to weather occur, it seems that water joins in one single place by taking it away from other places leaving them waterless. Ultimately, the population is growing so the demand of food; therefore, more water is needed for the corps to grow and produce. In conclusion, somehow the water cycle is distressed.
