Paying for our foolishness


I know that lately the water scarcity problem that hermosillo faces is a VERY common topic, so i'll state my point of view.


I really hate it when people get mad for not having water, and then they start blamming all of it on the government. Accusing them from being inneficient and that this water scarcity is all their fault. I know their frustration, but please, instead of screaming and yelling unconscious and unprofessional words, I really want you to think what did you do with your water before this happened.


Lets face it people, this water scarcity problem is all OUR FAULT, not the government's fault, well maybe, but anyways we chose this government so it is mainly OUR fault.

We were the ones who bathe our car with loads of water, we were the ones who showered for an hour a day, and we were the ones who didn't take the time to fill a cup of water instead of letting the water flow when brushing our teeth.


We are the only ones to blame, and thanks to this we are now getting what we really deserve, a "tandeo" .

TANDEO


What do you think of when I say WATER? probably in the same thing I do "lack of water" and if you live in Hermosillo in TANDEO.
Water is a big issue in the world, no country has enought water for its people, exept maybe for Canada, and even they know water is a limited resource.
So, how does this affects me directly? well, in my particular case it doesn´t affects me that much because I have a tinaco, but it still changes some things like that we can only do our laundry in the afternoons (when the sun is really HOT!!!), the same goes for the dishes and my little garden isn´t that nice anymore. But to others it affects them even more because they don´t have tinacos and they have to adapt their shedules to their water hours, like for instance if the boy was used to shower himself in the mornings now he has to do it in the night and vice-versa.
Since we have no big water supplies near the city there is no other option than to rationalize water at the moment.
Maybe the real solution for us is to build a desaladora. The problem is that we also don´t have money to build one; then for Hermosillo´s people at this moment there no other choice than to adapt.

Lack of Water in Hermosillo

A Big Problem in Hermosillo: Water...

One of the latest classes of the first partial, we talked about the global issues and we listed many of them. One of them, was the lack of natural resources. I want to talk about them because is something that is affecting our city. The only difference is that the resource is water.
As we know we live in a desert region, so water tends to be scarce.

Currently, the government is searching for a solution and I hope that they find the best one, that benefits all its citizens. The point is that this lack of water at Hermosillo is a global Issue, but also involves Economics; because it is related to how the government will distribute the Service.

I chose to write about this, because it is a global issue very common and talked among Hermosillo Citizens, and it is a matter that involves all its people. This is one part of the issue, the political and social effects. But also it involves the Economics' science so it is really interesting to comment this events. We are noticed of what is happening in terms of resources in the city, and in terms, of the politics/governments decisions.
I would like to say that we all have to raise our voice, and propose or ask about the solutions. It is a matter that includes political, economical and social decisions; that later will have consequences in our lives, either good or bad.
