Water Scarcity in the American Southwest

The Colorado River 1,450 miles above sea level in North America flows southwest from the Colorado Rocky Mountains through the other six states to Mexico. In the 19th century, settlements in this area were confined to entering the Colorado River. Adjacent water was used strictly to support our lives. Today, with our advanced water treatment and transportation method, water is known for its more relaxed and lasting "life" and economic significance. Now, we use water as well as drink.

To begin thinking about the future of water, you must ask yourself what is the main reason for the shortage of water. How will the economic deficits affect our lives? Water consumption begins with individuals and families. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, 400 American gallons of water are used a day in American general households. So imagine that all the water you consume during the day is poured into a huge bucket and then add 10,000 gallons of water representing each household's lost water through an inefficient infrastructure Please give me. One hundred years old tube etc. Each of us has a very large bucket which is washed away by a system which does not take away this "outflow" effectively.

Water shortage is either a natural phenomenon or an artificial phenomenon. Therefore, they must be divided into two categories: economic shortages and material shortages. The lack of economy means that finding reliable and secure water sources is time consuming and expensive. Alternatively, physical shortage refers to a situation where water resources in a given area are short. In 2006, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa estimated that 300 million people out of the 800 million people living in the African continent live in a low-water environment. Especially in northern Africa and southern Africa, the global temperature rise accompanying climate change exacerbates the water cycle leading to the dry season and increases the risk of more extreme and frequent drought.

Actual water shortages are due to insufficient natural water resources to meet the needs of the community, caused by insufficient management of adequate available water resources. According to the report of the United Nations Development Program, most countries have sufficient water to meet the needs of home, industry, agriculture and the environment, but the latter is widely thought that it is the cause of water shortage It will serve it in an understandable way. Approximately one fifth of the world's population currently lives in areas affected by a serious water shortage. Water resources, including the water resources necessary to function effectively in the ecosystem, are insufficient to meet the needs of the country and region. Dry areas frequently encounter material shortages
