Got Water?
We need to help people that need clean water By:Ethan Wise
82% of those who lack access to improved water live in rural areas, while just 18% live in urban areas.
The Causes of Unclean Water
Bacteria
Tiny worms and bacteria live in water naturally. Most of the bacteria are pretty harmless. But some of them can cause devastating disease in humans.
Disease
Most of these waterborne diseases aren't found in developed countries because of the sophisticated water systems that filter and chlorinate water to eliminate all disease carrying organisms. But typhoid fever, cholera and many other diseases still run rampant in the developing parts of the world.
Dehydration
Dehydration is a condition that occurs when the loss of body fluids, mostly water, exceeds the amount that is taken in. People are not drinking the water because they know that it will kill them because of how dirty it is. People are forced to drink this water.
