    Water is essential for life but less than 1% is available for human consumption, and access is difficult in some areas like Africa where women and children walk for hours to collect daily water. Spain is susceptible to drought but consumes large amounts of water per person and water entering homes leaves full of pollutants requiring treatment before being returned to rivers, representing health, social, and economic threats. Actions are needed to preserve water resources.

    WATER RESOURCES

    Water is of vital importance for life on Earth; if there is no water, there is no life. Water is one of the most abundant substances on the Earths surface, covering approximately three quarters of it. However, less than 1% of this water is available for human consumption. In some areas, the access to drinkable water is much more difficult compared to other areas. In Africa, women and children have to walk for hours to collect the daily water supply, which is not even clean.

    Spain is very susceptible to droughts. However, we dont seem to care; each Spanish person consumes around 160 litres of water per day. In addition to that, is the pollution problem. Most of the water which enters our houses , leaves full of pollutants, requiring expensive treatments before being suitable for returning to the river. Both the supply and pollution problems represent important health, social and economic threats.
