Natural Water: What it costs to our daily consumption - Part 1

The planet Is running out water? By: D. Mark C. - "More than 2 million of  people die each year in the world by lack of safe drinking water and adequate basic sanitation, of which 90% are children."

Diane Raines Ward, in his book Water Wars, points out that 40% of the world's population "collects necessary water of wells, rivers, lakes or ponds".

In some countries women spend up to six hours a day fetching water for their families in containers that weigh more than 20 kilograms (40 pounds).  97.5 % Of water we have on the planet is salt water, only 2.5 % is freshwater, and that what we share with all living beings,animals and plants.


Consumption of water
Of that 2.5 % of fresh water available for consumption 99% are concentrated in glaciers, in the underground, in lagoons on the foothills of the glaciers, high andean lagoons accumulated by the rainfall in the winter, these waters are suitable for consumption prior a basic treatment  and costs millions bring it to the cities and combat the growing water crisis faced by cities and the great metropolis in the world.

Only is the 1% of freshwater that supplies us to the almost 7,000 millions of human beings that live on this planet and the millions of other living beings that consume this natural mineral.

The reality is that most of the third part of the world are burdened by the severe crisis in the drinking water and adequate sanitation.

The world health organization (WHO) say that when individuals and families do not have adequate toilets contributes to "the transmission of bacteria, viruses and paracites present in the human excreta, which pollute the water, soil and food.

This pollution is one of the fundamental causes of diarrheal diseases, second leading cause of death among children in developing countries, among them also the cholera, schistosomiasis and trachoma".

70% Of the fresh water that is used in the world is intended to agriculture and also knows that is needed 1000 tons of water to produce one tonne of grain.

These water consumption for agriculture is generally taken from rivers, lakes, dams, etc. , and in other cases are deposited in artificial ponds, artificial rains of winter in the higher areas.
