Shortage of water


In today's world, water is underestimated. No one thinks to turn the water off while they're brushing their teeth or letting their shower water run too long. In reality, this is causing huge problems with our water supply. According to statistics, only 1% of our water is drinkable. One in five humans do not have access to safe water. Some solutions to this are desalinization which is expensive but will work, decreasing pollution and atmospheric water generators that gather water from the air. The barrier to these solutions is money. The country/ world is already in a recession so this issue isn't so big compared to creating more jobs or finding a way to make more money. I believe that this is a big deal and we need to do everything we can to fix this.
