Stop, The Water Pollution!

Water pollution is a massive issue in the world today. Some countries like Denmark, The United States, and the United Kingdom, have 100% access to fresh clean water. But sadly other countries like, Ethiopia have less that 25%. some countries leak clean filtered water, Albania is one, they leak nearly 75% of the water. Luckily the US has managed to leak less than 30%. Salinization is one of many problems, salinization is when too much natural salt is in the water Asia has 68% salinization, crazy right!? Global warming is also a factor in this problem, it is warming up water that may not be needed to be warmed up, this could lead to more tourists coming to beaches, And they would probably leave trash in the water.
Fresh water is very expensive and scarce. In 1999 Austrias water prices skyrocketed, because of the scarcity. With the water costing so much it was too expensive for farmers to water their crops. Did you know that if you turn the water off when you brush your teeth, in a year you'll have saved 1,400 gallons of water. That would equal a lot of money. only 3% of the world's water is fresh the other 97% is all salted waters. There are four levels of water crisis, water shortages, water stress, water shortages and absolute water scarcity.
There are a lot of water pollution problems. Marine dumping is a very massive reason for pollution styrofoam can take up to 80 years to decompose, glass takes so long we don't even know how long it takes to decompose. Oil spills are also something to be concerned about. About 12% of the oceans oil is from oil spills. Us Americans use about 100 gallons of water per day, most Europeans use half of that. Arsenic which is a natural sediment, can be a natural pollutant in the water. If you drink this water you are at risk of, Liver problems, Skin diseases, Cancer and much more. Some people may wonder why there is such a water problem in the world, we use too much water to drink, shower,make food, and everything else. One of the best ways to solve water pollution is using the ozone to clean the water, this is very beneficial because, it kills bacteria, turns back to oxygen quickly, and there is no gross residue
Amounts of over all water is also a major problem. Our planet is full of water the Earth is 71% water yet we barely have enough to live. Earth's percentage of salted water is nearly 97.476% and the fresh water is 2.5323% that's too low! Yet the biggest problem of all is that water is a natural resource which means that we can't make more. Lets help save the earth!
