Summary

how they plan to improve it. The article stresses the importance of freshwater, how little of it exists,
and how they plan to prevent this issue.

Strengths
The article is very direct, listing only the important information and keeping the sugarcoating
to a minimal. It states the issue, illustrating clearly what the situation is. It also clearly explains all the
detail, mapping out what the causes, effects, and how to counteract the water issues. The writing is
mostly objective, but leaning towards action to prevent water scarcity.

Weaknesses
It does not show why the movement for water is not as pronounced. This may cause issues
when attempting to formulate a counter argument.

Relevancy
This article highlights the base structure of water scarcity, presenting the causes, affected
areas, impacted societies and what can be done. The article is mainly focused on preventing water
scarcity, providing ample evidence and data for support. However, it lacks counter arguments from
other viewpoints, making it only viably for supporting arguments.
