Assignment:

Have you ever had to restrict the amount of water you use due to drought? Have you ever been told that the water from your tap is not safe? Use a real or imagined scenario to describe what it is like not to have access to enough clean water. In three paragraphs, respond to the following:

1. Describe a time when you do not have unlimited access to clean water (if you have been lucky enough to avoid such a situation, then imagine one)

• What limited your clean water supply?
• A persistent drought
• Location (for example - on vacation, hiking, lost)
• Natural or man-made disaster
• How was your access restricted?
• Availability
• Water is not clean and safe to drink
• Or both
• What did you have to do to accommodate this water restriction?
• How long did it take before you felt restricted or in danger?
• How did you feel once you had access to clean water again?

2. Describe the effects of a global water supply crisis.

• What populations and locations would be hardest hit? Why?
• What are the ethical issues surrounding clean water access?
• What can you do to help?

3. Find a charity dedicated to resolving the water crisis.

• What is their mission statement?
• What are they doing to address the crisis?
