Water shortage

Can you imagine a world with no pure water?  Without water, the entire human race along with anything living would no longer exist.  Many of us do not even think about the fact that the world is currently in short supply of drinkable or pure water.  Once the amount of water can no longer withstand its demands for life to exist, the world then will fall into what I like to call a “water crisis”.  Several different countries have villages that contain inadequate amounts of safe/drinkable water.  This lack of safe water leads to many civilians to drink contaminated water, which contains water-borne pathogens.  This essentially leads to many deaths in the human population.  Today, us citizens take water for granted.  A countless number of people leaves their facets running while they are brushing their teeth, leave their sprinklers running for hours, and even do not finish their two-dollar water they just bought.  Lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water are also being polluted by garbage and oil spills everyday.  In order to save this planet, we need to take into consideration how much water we are using and try to preserve it.  There are regulations in different areas that control how much water people use.  For instance, in the next town over from mine they have water regulations in place on Saturdays.  People cannot water their lawns, which leads to less water being used.  This also gets peoples attention and forces people to think about and consider when and how they use their water.
