Something that stood out to me was how many countries are going through a water crisis. I am well aware that the earth currently has a problem with overpopulation and this is connected to all of the water crisis issues in the world right now. I just don’t know what to say about these issues because every article I read mentioned something about the growing population in that region but they claim that other factors are causing their water crisis to get bigger.

pH affects the quality of water because a low amount of it can cause metals from the bedrock of bodies of water to be released. After it is dissolved, it can kill fish an interfere with their uptake of the dissolved oxygen. Human activities or interference can affect all of the variable that we tested or will test in the future. Humans that leave trash in large bodies of water can alter the pH by lowering it thus releasing compounds that’ll eventually kill fish. Especially if these objects are often mistaken as food and the aquatic creatures accidentally feed and suffocate on them.

A lack of nitrates and phosphates would cause the death of aquatic plants and algae and in turn deplete the dissolved oxygen which would kill fish of the other aerobic organisms.

The dissolved oxygen is oxygen gas that is dissolved by the water. Without it, fish and other aerobic organisms won’t be able to breath since there is no oxygen within the water. Therefore, it’s essential to the health of aquatic organisms. Nitrates and phosphates affects the quality of the water by being the source of food for algae and aquatic plants.

Lastly, Brazil is also facing a growing water crisis because of their growing population. Although their access to water and sanitation has increased since 2010, they still need help within their community. About 30 million people are being affected by this water crisis and some solutions have been introduced in order to face this situation. In Brazil, they are in the process of certifying additional financial institutions and expanding our work in the region.

In India, a water crisis is taking place due to a similar problem around the world: population. It is estimated that if the water crisis in India is not dealt with, about 114 million Indians will be affected. This water crisis has developed because of the fact that India is known to be the largest user of groundwater. Their drought seasons are also long and this is connected to the depletion of groundwater. In order to face this problem, programs have been formed that introduced self-regulating water.

Another water crisis that is currently taking place within the world is in China. Although they’ve gained access to improved sanitation since 1990, they consumption of their water sources are getting more depleted as more immigrants start to move into their cities and communities. This water crisis has caused their climates to be more harsh, which is a growing problem in the world. Around 593 million hinese have been affected by this water crisis. In order to battle against the water crisis in China is was said that “We need to increase the value of productivity per unit or drop of water in physical water scarcity areas and increase water use efficiency in economic water scarcity areas for irrigated agriculture using new technologies."

One water crisis is currently taking place in California. This is caused my the increase pumping that it needed by California’s citizens and this has been a growing problem for them over the years.  This water crisis is affecting their food source because farmers rely on groundwater to feed their plants but due to a rapid depletion, they’ll start to wilt and die due to the drought seasons. Around 2 billion people are being affected by this water crisis and more people might be affected in the future. Unfortunately, nobody has came up with a solution to solve this problem.

One of the many problems that is currently increasing around the world has to deal with our water supply. In different countries around the world, water is becoming more scarce has the population is increasing within them. Even though these countries have access to clean water and sanitation, this isn't enough to face the water crisis.
