Water, water, everywhere! by Genesis Rodriguez Vargas https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg en-us 2022-11-15 00:00:26 UTC 2023-03-25 22:34:35 UTC hello@padlet.com Dylan and Daniel https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531314713 As mentioned water is s very important resource at we need to take care of. There are places where people have to walk long distances to get water that is not even drinkable. The UN has the project of being able to provide clean water for everyone for 2030. However this project has been delayed due to the world economic situation.
In the other hand, efforts are being done to recycle water and cleaning it so that it's drinkable again.
In conclusion, we think is important to take care of water and be conscious about the the problem the world is facing and be grateful for this natural resource.]]> 2023-03-25 14:50:28 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531314713 Luis A, Michael and Tiffany https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531315185 How can we reuse water?

Reverse Osmosis: it´s a technology that uses a semipermeable membrane to filter out impurities from water. This process removes salts, minerals, and other impurities from water, making it safe to drink.

Ozonation: Ozone is a powerful oxidant that can be used to purify water. When water is treated with ozone, it destroys bacteria and viruses, as well as organic compounds that can cause taste and odor problems.

Chlorination: Chlorination is a common method used to disinfect water. Chlorine is added to the water to kill bacteria and viruses that may be present.

Filtration: It is a physical process that removes suspended solids, such as sand, silt, and other impurities from water.

Distillation: Is a process that involves heating water to create steam, which is then collected and condensed into pure water. This process removes minerals, salts, and other impurities from water.

It's important to note that different treatment methods may be appropriate depending on the type and quality of the wastewater being treated. Additionally, any reused water should be tested regularly to ensure that it meets safety standards.]]> 2023-03-25 14:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531315185 Daniela y Mauricio: The water is running out https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531315211 Water is a vital and indispensable resource for human life and for the economic and social development of any community. However, in some countries and communities, water scarcity is a very real and concerning problem.
The lack of access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation can have serious consequences for people's health, especially children and the elderly. Additionally, water scarcity can negatively impact agricultural production, industry, and tourism, and can generate social and political conflicts.
It is essential that measures are taken to ensure access to water worldwide, especially in regions most affected by scarcity. This may involve investment in infrastructure and technologies for water treatment and distribution, as well as measures for conservation and efficient use of the resource.
It' s also important to promote a culture of responsible water use, including education and awareness-raising among the population about the importance of the resource and the need to reduce excessive consumption and waste. Governments must also implement policies so that communities take care of water, because many times it is the same humans who contaminate them. When the water is running out, it is necessary to implement fines for those who pollute it]]> 2023-03-25 14:51:31 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531315211 Jime, Daya and Allison https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531316083 Water is very important for human development, however, human beings have always had a wrong thought about water, since they think that it will never end or that they can do whatever they want with it, unfortunately, due to this thought, there is a shortage of water in various areas of the world, especially in Africa and Asia, these continents do not have access to drinking water, therefore they are countries that have health problems. Several organizations have been created with the purpose of conserving and providing water to all those people who do not have it, one of the projects mentioned in the video is about reusing water for drinking, agriculture, for bathing and washing, however it is difficult to expand this type of project to the whole world, the goal of governments is to provide drinking water to all the nations of the world from 2030, however this will only be possible if people change their thoughts about water. ]]> 2023-03-25 14:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531316083 Luis A, Michael and Tiffany https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531316562
What Causes Less Drinking Water?

We think that there are several reasons for a decrease in the availability of drinking water, including:

Drought: A lack of rainfall or snowfall can cause a shortage of water in rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water that are used to supply drinking water.

Climate change: Changes in weather patterns, such as increased temperatures and more frequent and intense droughts, can lead to water scarcity.

Overuse: Human consumption and demand for water can exceed the natural replenishment rate of freshwater sources, leading to depletion.

Pollution: Contamination of water sources by chemicals, pesticides, and other pollutants can make water unusable for drinking.

Aging infrastructure: Old or poorly maintained water supply systems can lead to leaks, breaks, and other failures that reduce the availability of drinking water.

Population growth: Increasing population and urbanization can place stress on water resources and infraestructura and now this is a reallylity because in some contrys you can have more than three siblings for example]]> 2023-03-25 14:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531316562 Luis Monge, Paula A https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531317124 Water is a very important component for the human being, something important to mention is that even on the planet there are many areas in the world that do not have access to drinking water for people, in almost 10 countries, such as Africa, Somalia , Nigerian etc.  This is something that people should be aware of since water is a very important resource and that there is no adequate sanitation for its use is worrying, people who do not have access must walk long distances to manage to get water.  Therefore, it should focus on the communities that are most vulnerable to improve the situation in which people live.
 By the year 2030 we want to ensure that all people have access to drinking water, water must be an issue in which politicians must take action, they must see the importance of it, in the same way in places like Los Angeles , the water is treated to ensure that it can be reused and thus drinkable.]]> 2023-03-25 14:55:17 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531317124 Sebastian and Samir https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531399941 The video "UN holds conference on global water scarcity" reports on the United Nations Conference on Global Water Scarcity, which took place in New York. The event brought together experts, government leaders and members of civil society to discuss the challenges and solutions to address water scarcity around the world.

The video highlights that water is essential for life and sustainable development, but more than 2 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water and almost half of the world's population faces water scarcity for at least one month of the year. Additionally, global water demand is expected to increase by 55% by 2050 due to population growth and climate change.

The video also shows some of the projects and solutions that were presented at the conference, such as the use of innovative technologies for water management and conservation, the improvement of water and sanitation infrastructure, and the promotion of sustainable agricultural practices. Finally, the video highlights the importance of international cooperation and investment in solutions to address water scarcity and ensure a sustainable future for all.]]> 2023-03-25 17:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531399941 Yehudy, Pablo, Marcel https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531401661 Water scarcity is a serious issue that affects many parts of the world. It refers to a situation where there is a shortage of water resources, either because of physical scarcity, such as in arid regions, or because of mismanagement and overuse of water resources.

This issue can have devastating effects on both human and natural systems. It can lead to drought, famine, and conflict over access to water resources. It can also impact the environment, as reduced water availability can harm ecosystems and biodiversity.

To address this problem it is important to promote sustainable water management practices, such as water conservation, watershed protection, and improved irrigation techniques. Governments and communities can work together to develop and implement policies that prioritize water conservation and efficient use of water resources.]]> 2023-03-25 17:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531401661 Otalia and Adrian https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531401701 Water scarcity is a critical and ever-growing problem around the world, and I believe it is important that international conferences and discussions take place to address this problem and find long-term sustainable solutions.

  Holding a UN conference on global water scarcity is a positive initiative, as it can help raise public awareness of this problem and encourage international collaboration to find solutions.  It is important that experts in the field are involved, as well as representatives from different countries and organizations to ensure that all relevant perspectives are addressed and concrete action is taken.

  In addition, I hope that this conference will not only focus on identifying the problem, but will also focus on concrete solutions, such as more efficient use of water, investment in water treatment and distribution infrastructure, sustainable management of resources water and technological innovation.

  In summary, I welcome a UN conference on water scarcity and hope that concrete steps are taken to address this urgent problem and protect one of our planet's most precious and indispensable resources.]]> 2023-03-25 17:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531401701 Anthony, Esteban & Alejandro https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531404473 There has been a misconception about water availability and the big branch between rich communities and marginalized areas. This makes us wonder, is water really considered like a right or is it just one more product which market capitalism takes over? There must come a time where the wars get heavier, the people start dying from lack of water, and the food doesn’t grow, and at that point it's already too late. There are some countries that are experiencing that nowadays, and instead of  wondering why that happened or what can we do to change it, each time there are more countries starting this crisis and the only thing that seems to matter is how expensive the water can be in a supermarket. If we focus our fight in solving the problems of capitalism, and not in solving the massive violation of rights, we’ll build a society where just the rich people are worthy of living, while the actual civilization will disappear between wars, hunger and poverty.]]> 2023-03-25 17:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531404473 Michael and Nathan https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531404486 Water is important for everyone

The water is a limited resource, it’s something precious that not all the people would care about, however, we as a global community must start working together to accomplish this sustainable development goal.

The world’s leaders are the ones that could have more responsibility with the decisions they take regarding this precious source. But it is also important to claim our rights. 

The ones that do have access to fresh water, should be more conscious about how we use and waste water, because there are some areas where is difficult to get clean or any access to water, which could also affect their health and the way the live.

With the technological advances, the governments should focus on ways to purify water and make sure people around the world can have access to it, the U.N. already have the sustainable development goal, but ID they don’t work all together, the road could be more difficult and they need to act now.]]> 2023-03-25 17:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531404486 Joel and José https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531404531 Water constitudes one of our most precious resources, yet nowadays half of the world population lacks access to drinkable water, if they have access to it at all. This has caused numerous issues in regards to health, food and hygiene, which amplify each other as a result of how tied up they are with each other. As a result, the united nations had made it their priority to grant access to all by 2030, with the racionale that this would help to solve or diminish various other issues as a result of how linked water is to various issues and aspects in our daily lives.
Water recycle and treatment technologycal advances will be the main and most important solution to water population issues. It not only reduces the water that we used, also it allow to share it. So, its investment and development willl increase through the next years.]]> 2023-03-25 17:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531404531 Sebas, Ale, and Esteban https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531497777 Millions of people do not have clean water available and that damages those individuals health conditions. Lack of clean water is synonymous to a poor life condition. To assist the places were clean water is not available, a big financial investment would need to be made. In addition, there are ways to take care of  water, by showering quickly, recycling, closing the tap when you are not using it, and not using water unnecessary. Water is part of other imperative manners such as poverty. Moreover, water is not an infinite resource and we need to enhance a sentiment of urgency to take action. We do not need to wait for an Aja moment, but rather start making a change now.]]> 2023-03-25 22:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531497777 Vale, Pao, Andrés https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531498679 Water scarcity

English 3 https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531498785 The video is about the topic water scarcity, since it's important to show the policies in order to protect this natural resource. 

Also, it presents the different situations about people not having enough water to drink so they have to travel for a long time in order to catch some. Something important that the video shows it's how in the future water could be recycle in order to use for even drinking. As far as could mention the specialist at the topic told about making the governments part of the movement since, "one actor can't make the change alone". 

Of course there are other problems like poverty, health situations of food scarcity but, all of them should be taking care as a whole and not separate. ]]> 2023-03-25 22:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531498785 Juliam, Anthonny https://padlet.com/grodriguezv043/ieicw2wvr2s0umlg/wish/2531499417 Water is one of the most valuable and essential resources we have on our planet. It is a limited and vital resource for the life of all species, including humans. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, water is being exploited, polluted, and mismanaged, leading to water shortages and crises in many places. 
It is important that we pay attention to and protect water because it is critical to our survival. Water is used in agriculture, food production, power generation, product manufacturing, and for drinking and maintaining good hygiene. Without water, we could not exist. Therefore, it is crucial that we make an effort to protect water and use it responsibly. Almost 70% of the water is mainly used for agriculture. 
To protect water, we must create new ways to care for and clean it. One of the ways to do this is by adopting sustainable and responsible practices in the use of water. This includes the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices, water conservation in the home, industry, and agriculture, and the adoption of water-efficient technologies. It is also important to reduce water pollution. Human activities, such as agriculture, mining, and industry, can release chemicals and wastes that pollute water. 
Steps need to be taken to prevent pollution, control the amount of contaminants entering the water, and clean up contaminated Water 
 Currently, in California due to the drownings, they have developed a special treatment system for water which allows to reuse the water by going to different procedures and making it potable again
