Scarcity of water

Scarcity of water is a problem that is had been afecting Hermosillo since January 16th 2010, the goverment has been limiting Hermosillo's Families to eight hours of water per day, it might even be good until some point because we are using less water and by this we are helping earth.

It also has a bad side, because now we are not able to shower at any time we want, and we are not able to to do a lot of things (mostly cleaning matters) becuase now we have like a schedule to do the thing we need to do with water.

And in a very extreme case it might even affect big industries, because maybe their production will low down, or the quality may low down too and and prices and the industry economy in general.

Climate Change & Religion

Climate changes are affecting some rituals made in rivers. Like this Hindu people that have their ritual in the Ganges River, one of the most endangered rivers of the world. Some glaciers that feed it are disappearing because of global warming. If these glaciers disappear, the Ganges river will dry up and these rituals won't be made. Not going so far away, the Yaquis also live around the Rio Yaqui and the Oviachi. They make some rituals and use that water for basic needs, but if we continue wasting water, these water supplys will disappear before we realize it.

Global Problem: Water Scarcity


Water, the most important resource for every living thing, without water, we would be dead in just a couple of days. It seems that most of us don't really realize what would be if water would disappear one day, or not to go too far, the day when water wouldn't be enough for all of us. I know that there are alot of campaings that are promoting the care of water, and people might see it everywhere, might hear it form everyone, but really, are we doing something about this issue? Just a few of us that are coincious of water scarcity won't make a huge differece, we need to promote this issue and make people decide their future for themselves and upcoming generations. We need to be less selfish, people might be dying of dehydration at the same time that others are taking half an hour baths. We need results, we need to act, do something about this issue, not let it pass and act as we care when we really don't show it with our actions. In simple everyday duties, you can make an effort on not wasting water. Take 5 minute baths, use a cup of water to wash your teeth, use a bucket to wash your car you don't really need much water to fulfill this duties. We share our world, and people from all places should be recieving the necessary amount of water they need, which they are not. Let's do something about it, spread these words to become actions.
