The issue of water contamination is a problem for the environment. Water is one of the four needs of life in order to maintain life. Without water the population of humans will be extinct. The ways of contamination can be from industrial waste, such as production, or extraction or distribution of contaminated water to residents. One way of contamination is the production is Hydraulic fracturing (Fracking). The process releases contaminants into the water making it a toxic substance that is harmful to the human health and have carcinogenic illnesses.
This issue matters because water is an essential to human life. Without water then no type of human life form can exist, in which the contamination water is a problem because people around the world can consume water that can be contaminated with chemicals and potentially have illnesses that can lead to an individual's death. For me personally I believe this issue matters because any person can drink water and believe it's fine without really knowing if the water that is being supplied is really safe and harmful. Water contamination is a critical importance for other people that are different than me. Other people who are different can be less fortunate and live in a region where the city can be distributing toxic water. Also for the people who are less fortunate that are being taking advantage of such as in developing countries, The industries contaminate their only source of water and affect the people that are living in the area. |
In choosing my Fire Project topic I was interested in water contamination because I took a class, specifically Environmental Science that was taught by Mr. Segura. When Mr. Segura presented the topic or section of water I was interested because the experiments and reading were interesting and astounded me and my perspective on water. Ever since I been taught about water I wanted to learn more about the topic of water. Therefore, I chose my Fire Project topic to be about water contamination.
