=Water Crisis in India =

Primary Sources: [|Study of India's Water] Besides the lack of water in some places in India, the water they do have are not up to par with the cleanness. Drinking the water that people bathe in religiously have caused many diarrhoeal diseases. This is human interacting with the earth and much can not be done to those who are religiously attached to it. It should be known that it is not good for the body for it can cause diseases but it has currently not been proven and that is what the article is about. They want to find a way to prove this to help better the environment.

[|Water Crisis Video] Water is one of the most important thing to the survival of humans. Not only is it needed to drink and bathe, it is needed for crops to grow and for animals. In some places in India the lack of water has made it really hard on families where farming is essential to living. Monsoons have also not been good for India lately. They have been arriving late and not enough for the crops. This is all environmental stuff that can somehow be fixed in a way if things started to change.

Artifacts: [|World Water Map] In the map you can see the countries that are most effected by the water crisis. There are still a lot of countries that have little or no water scarcity but for the most part countries are at a place where they should be cautious of the water crisis. A lot of the regions that do not have water are close together, which makes it even harder to get water out there.

[|India Map] This is a closer look at the Indian part of the map. NASA has figured out the part of India hit hardest by the water crisis and it is able to be seen by the warm colors. There is really little cool colors seen on the map, so it is a big issue in the country.

[|Slideshow Pictures] These collection of pictures show how hard it is for the people in India to get water everyday. There is always worry and uncertainty of not having enough water for the day. It gets to the point where people in the slums start to fight over the water that comes from the government since they don't have public access. Dumping so much waste and gasses into the water they do have isn't a great idea cause then it is basically useless. This environmental issue is one of the biggest because water is needed to survive. It is one of the necessities of life, and living in a place where there is enough water out there for us, we don't see how bad it truly is to not have it.
