Argument Analysis Of The Article 'Water'

Furthermore, the Shore Protection Act is applicable to the transportation of municipal and commercial waste in coastal waters aiming to minimize debris from being deposited into coastal waters from inadequate waste handling procedures by waste transporting vessels (Laws That Protect). The Center for Biodiversity had petitioned the EPA to begin regulating plastics as a pollutant under The Clean Water Act- a crucial first step in reducing the amount of plastic. The Clean Water Act is the nation's strongest law protecting water quality. Recognition of plastic pollution under the clean water act enables states to develop water-quality standards to finally begin curbing the amount of plastic dumped in the oceans.

Elyse Wanshel, a writer for Huffington Post, wrote an article on the problem of unclean and unsafe water in Flint, Michigan and what 300 plumbers did to try to fix it. The purpose of the article was to inform the readers on the problem occurring and to persuade everyday people to help to fix the problem as well.

There is a water crisis which faces many parts of the world and it is a threat to survival of human beings since humans are primarily dependent on water. Shortage in drinking water is beginning to show its effects in first world countries, but is a current major problem facing lesser developed countries which have not taken drastic steps to harvest water and purify it to make it safe for human consumption. In developed countries the population growth has strained available water resources and stretched the ability of governments and private firms to provide safe drinking water to the vast majority of the population. Seventy one percent of

Water is an essential quality in life that you need to live. Yet many people don't realize that how important it is in life until it could be taken away. John Thorson, a water rights and lawyer, says “ water links us to our neighbor in a way more profound and complex than any other.” It is a way people are connected around economically, socially, and environmentally. Some struggle to have clean water to drink and others can not find clean water at all.

In The Water Wars written by Cameron Stracher, humanity struggles to survive in a parched, dry, and post-apocalyptic Earth. The narrator, Vera, lives with his brother Will in the Republic of Illinowa, once a part of the United States. Everything in her life was normal until she and her brother decided to venture on a dangerous and perilous journey beyond their republic in order to save Kai, a boy who somehow seems to have unlimited drinking water. All the dangers and events unfolded because of one key decision made by Vera.

Among all of the resources in the world, there is one that we do not often consider to be diminishing. The masses take this resource, water, for granted. When the average person takes a single look at a world map, they see multiple blue oceans covering the Earth. But, although we are surrounded by water, our clean water reserves dwindle rapidly. In her article, “Water Works”, Cynthia Barnett attempts to bring this issue to greater light and offers her own solutions. While I agree with many of Barnett’s points, she fails to look at the arguments of her detractors to the detriment of her already flawed case.

He is completely right with the fact that water does not belong to only one person or a small group. What surprises me, is the fact that it has been seven years since the article was published, yet people are only noticing the dilemma because of the dwindling supply of water. The article states “However, the problem is poor management of water which results in scarcity and conflict” (Weiser). We have continued to waste our resources on a daily basis. We have developed the bad habit of taking an essential of survival such as water for granted.

“This is Water” will open the reader's eyes by using relatable subjects that the majority of society can understand. The author tries to convey the “ harsh “ truth of society using minuscule tasks can be the hardest

According to the article "Wasted Food = Wasted Water" by Kyle Rabin, the amount of wasted water, influenced by wasted food, is "by one clever comparison" roughly the same amount of water that is found in Lake Erie (Kyle). While this comparison is indeed clever, allowing the reader to more accurately imagine the water that is wasted, it is saddening to think of the huge amount of water that is literally put down the drain every year. All of this water could be saved if we cut down the amount of food waste we produce each year, in the US alone.

The material significance of water is clear. Water is an essential part of human life. Whether it’s the water we ingest in order to maintain the strength and integrity of our bodily structure and functions, or the water in our oceans that preserve the fragile ecosystem of our planet and cover a majority of the Earth’s surface. We have learned to exploit water for our survival and our leisure, sometimes at great risk. However, water also has a psychological significance to humans. There is something about water that has always attracted humanity. It is evident from our literature that humanity has often felt drawn to the water. Some good examples of this are Tim Winton’s 2008 novel ‘Breath’ and ‘The Bloody Past, the Wandering Future’, written by Janette Turner Hospital as a part of her ‘Dislocation’ series in 1990.

How does missing information affect an article? The article The Wrong Way To Think About Water, written by Michael Hiltzik, focuses on people’s opinion on certain techniques of water usage and which techniques they should be focused on? A section of this article focuses on California agriculture and how plants need a substantial amount of water to grow. It is titled Agriculture: Stop talking about the almond trees. This paragraph is talking about the amount of water California’s agriculture uses but specifically focusing on almond trees. Within this paragraph, I feel that there is missing information that should have been included.

“Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you,” said the wisest of wise men. “The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”

Water is a very important commodity to live. Some people say it’s a right, but others at as if it’s a privilege, and as a result, people lack it. The human body is about sixty percent water, but in what I have seen just in my twenty years of life, people do not drink merely enough of it. Instead, water has been replaced as a go-to drink by things like milk, coffee, pop, or energy drinks, but natural energy lies in water. With water we can be more energized, awake, and of course, hydrated, which all together collaborate to help us flourish, stay healthy, and live long. It’s most of the earth’s surface, too; water’s all around us, but we neglect it and deny its crucial place in our health and humanity.
