The World Water Crisis

Each work of love, carried out with all my heart, never fails to bring people to God. Mother Teresa of Calcutta Overview and scope We know that water is vital to our existence, something which must be looked after in order to preserve jealously to a humanity that is assigned on this planet where water plays an important role., As and known as three-quarters of our body is water and losing 20 percent of water is the most complex we perish. Water is the protoplasm of the cells and in the form of sap, lymph, semen, blood, milk, urine, sweat or tears, aqueous humor preserve and regenerate life. Mammals before birth we form suspended in the warm inland sea is the womb. The oviparous come to the miraculous world of water capsules. Dissolved in water taken from the soil plant nutrients and no water, no photosynthesis. Seriously concerned that by not being careful in preserving the environment, in your care, it is increasingly contaminated with this element and the result can be disastrous for our existence.

Well Armando Barta points out when he says, that the planet's water metabolism subtle limping. Serious thing, for the vast and intricate circulatory system that flows in all living things and between the animate and inanimate world we all depend: the flying and swimming, the walking and creeping, which take root and that left to go ... The water bore us and through us, his children, now the water is alive. But if we kill the water with the life she dies. We added in his interesting analysis of this issue Barta, which seas, lakes and streams large and small are contaminated by toxic waste and the 500 largest rivers are drying half, including the Nile in Egypt, the Yellow in China, Colorado in the United States, the Ganges in India and Jordan in Palestine. All because of such colossal waterworks as clumsy. And mankind is thirsty. According to the UN, a thousand 300 million people lack access to safe water while 31 countries face serious shortages, which will undoubtedly worsen the effects of climate change.

And the demand for water is doubling every 20 years. "The wars of the twentieth century will be about water?, Said Ishmael Sarageldin, former World Bank vice president, something they knew this was a promoter of privatization of this vital liquid.

Water, the sweet is the smallest, most hidden, the most elusive, the rarest, most precious. Because 94 percent of the water is brackish, and six percent that is sweet, is 4.3 percent and 1.7 percent ground is frozen. So fresh water from the atmosphere and the earth's surface: clouds, rain, rivers, lakes, wetlands ... is just 0.03 percent of all water. Soil the precious liquid sewage from cities, industrial discharges, accidental spills of toxic chemicals and the field. But if accidents are the most bulky and most severe industrial pollution, pollution is the largest rural extension. It was not so, but in the twentieth century won the intensive agriculture model was unsustainable water, among other things because pesticides pollute rivers, lakes, seas and groundwater and water overfeed nitrogen fertilizer, causing algae blooms and oxygen reduction.

Similarly, although the problem affects all countries, those most affected are those in the South, where he was born on 95% of the 80 million people each year increase the population of the planet. Still, the greatest threat to universal access to drinking water is provided by nature but corporate globalization. Water privatization is a progressive phenomenon and aggressively exported to developing countries under the rubric of poverty reduction, debt reduction, trade liberalization and economic development. In this context, civil society demands that access to drinking water is a universal human right, so as to ensure that everyone can benefit from water resources. At the same time is against the exploitation of water left in the hands of private corporations that only seek the return of service. From the perspective of the various civil society movements, the issue of basic services covers a wide range of issue areas, such as accountability and transparency of international institutions of governance, human rights, poverty reduction, democratization national sovereignty, gender equality, reduction and debt relief and environmental protection.

The water issue is in this context, of vital importance to ensure the future of humanity. Conclusion It is very worrying that neglected the protection of water based on the assurance of our existence, will require further actions by governments to safeguard the protection that this element needs, take into account what Alex Kirby reminds us, that the United Nations Organization states that every person needs a minimum of 50 liters per day for drinking, bathing, cooking and sanitation. In 1990, more than one billion people do not have even that. Provide universal access to that minimum of 50 liters for 2015 would take less than 1% of the amount of water used in the world today. However, it seems a long way from achieving. 70% of water used today in the world is devoted to agriculture. If the population continues to grow (it is estimated that we will be 6,000 million to 8,900 million for 2050), will require more water to feed. It is also believed that consumption will increase as you increase the number of people who adopt a lifestyle and a Western diet (one kilo of meat, a cow that is fed with grains, needs at least 15 cubic meters of water while a kilo of cereals needs only three cubic meters Graduate Program specializing in quality management and productivity of Faces at the University of Carabobo, faced with this reality through its lines of research, especially the business and environment, emphasizes in his seminars, conferences, the relevance of the companies in the region specifically, have plants to prevent water pollution and the citizens they become more aware of what constitutes the water for life the need to preserve, not to waste, prevent waste and be more responsible in their use.

Are disclosed as knowing how to properly use the water.
