Dear editor,

Did you know that drinking dirty water can kill you? Did you know that 1.8 billion people lack access to fresh water? We are lucky because we can get fresh water out of our taps every day, but not everyone has this luxury. Water scarcity is a big problem in many places, especially when it comes to fresh, clean drinking water. There are very serious effects of drinking contaminated water and unfortunately many people in the world are faced with these problems every day.

Drinking contaminated water can cause horrible side effects such as nausea, vomiting, cramps, and diarrhea. Contaminated water can cause diseases too, such as legionnaires, campylobacter, and salmonella. Many people in the world don’t have access to fresh water, so they have no choice but to drink this contaminated water. This lack of access to fresh water is sometimes called water scarcity.

Water scarcity is a major problem in many regions around the word. Water scarcity already affects every continent. “1.6 billion people face an economic water shortage” For instance, in the African region, many people die from water scarcity because they can’t get access to clean water and end up drinking water that might be contaminated. “Nearly 3.4 million people die each year from water scarcity and water contamination”. When people live in places where there is water scarcity, they are unable to access clean water to drink, so water scarcity contributes to the problem of water contamination.
