Paragraph 1
Water is the common name applied to the liquid form (state) of the hydrogen and oxygen compound H2O. Pure water is an odorless, tasteless, clear liquid. Water is one of nature's most important gifts to mankind. “Water crisis is a general term used to describe a situation where the available water within a region is less than the region's demand”[1]. That been said, water shortage it is a huge problem, especially for poor communities. Water shortage affects the economic, health, education, construction and development of global development. We are facing problems of clean water shortages today. This is due to many factors like industries, pollution, global warming. According to W. J. Roberts 1956. “The chief reasons for most water shortages can be attributed to greater than anticipated population increases, decreases in well capacity, sediment accumulations in reservoirs, and increased water requirements, both domestic and industrial”. In addition, there is illegal dumping of toxic waste in rivers and lakes which are a source of clean water. Moreover, human behavior also leads to water shortages, many of us especially in the development communities, use water inefficiently. Eventually if the situation continues it will lead to hunger and famine, thirst, disease, wildfires, migration or relocation and maybe also social conflict and wars.
