I understand that eighty years ago, kids were shorter. It makes perfect sense, less food, and not too many bovine growth hormones. In fact, it was probably considered sensible to build shorter water fountains. But why would you not feel the need to replace those water fountains years later when they only come up to kid’s knees? Hydration is a fundamental part of life. I suggest three ways to improve the drinking conditions of all students at Worland High school. To build new water fountains Worland students need to do three things, raise water awareness, earn money for new water fountains, and convince teachers to support the cause.
Hydration is fundamental part of health, and cannot be achieved with short water fountains. Kids often feel embarrassed to bend down and drink out of the water fountain. Little do they know that this hurting their body. Dehydration can cause skin aging. Kids need to raise awareness by making posters and hanging them over water fountains. This will definitely get people to think about the height of the water fountains. Then a petition will need to be tak...
The purpose of this lab is to determine the mass of anhydrous salt and H2O in a hydrate solution to calculate the empirical formula of the hydrate. To make this determination, the H2O in the hydrate is driven off to calculate the mass of the water and anhydrate. By driving off the H2O, the anhydrate will be left behind in the evaporating dish and may even change color or texture. The H2O in the hydrate is run off through the process of evaporation, where a liquid is heated to its boiling point and extracted from the substance in the from of vapor. The ratio of moles in a hydrate is one mole of anhydrous salt to one mole or greater whole number of H2O. The empirical formula of the hydrate is calculated through the use of properties of moles, molar mass, and conversion formulas. The mole is a unit which equates to the molar mass of one atom or Avogadro's number, 6.02 * 10^23. Using the molar mass of H2O and the anhydrate, the mass of the substances are converted into moles and written as an empirical formula.
Humans need water. In a world that is overpopulated, we use a lot of water and other natural resources. Currently, in our world, clean water is getting scarce. Recently, for example, Flint, Michigan, had a water crisis. In early 2016, the water was discovered to be tainted with lead and other toxins. Long before that, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and Governor Rick Snyder along with his council, knew about the lead, but to save money for the city of Flint in early 2014 Snyder had changed the city’s water source to the Flint River which had corroded pipes, causing people of all ages to be sick from the high amounts of lead
Water is one of the most vital essentials that helps support all of life. In the article “Water Works” by Cynthia Barnett, she talks about the “Growing Vine Street” project in how it has helped clean up the pollution in water. The project changes the flow of the water so it flows into the ground rather than through streets, parking lots, and roofs because it soaks up harmful things that goes into the gutter and cause pollution in many other places. Barnett believes we should upgrade the water system even though it will cost a bunch of money because the current water system is aging and needs to repair, replace, and upgraded. Upgrading the water system will help clean the water more effectively and reduce the amount of pollution in the
On February 15th, 2014, I took a trip to the drinking fountain at the University of California, San Diego that was assigned by Professor B for my second writing assignment. The drinking fountain is made out of granite that has been polished. It is situated on a cement pathway across from Yogurt World and the iconic Triton statue, which is next to the Price Center. The drinking fountain is in front of the Student Services Center building and next to the fountain, close to several outdoor seats and tables. The cement pathway is in between grasslands and several trees. On the same walkway, I see a large American Flag on a flag tower. I would later go on to discovery the rich history surrounding the monument on the walkway behind the flag tower. The area where the drinking fountain is situated was formerly a United States Marine Corps military base from 1917 until 1964. The area was used for marksmanship training for Marine recruits. During the military base’s early years, this area of the drinking fountain were used as rifle ranges and had no official name for the military base. Throughout World War II and the Korean War, more and more Marine recruits completed the marksmanship training at this base. The military base was officially named as Camp Calvin B. Matthews after famous Marine marksman Calvin B. Matthews in 1942. After WWII, local residents of the city of La Jolla became increasingly concerned over the existence of a military base in their community. In 1959, a bill was passed in Congress to transfer the military base to the University of California. On October 6th, 1964, Camp Calvin B. Matthews was deeded to UCSD, in same year, the first undergraduate college, Revelle, took in the first undergraduate class. Through careful o...
Water has become a very controversial issue in the United States and around the world. As populations increase and resources decrease, the way we use our resources and keep populations safe become more and more important. Throughout the world there are nearly 1.1 billion people who do not have access the clean drinking water. 5 Most of these 1.1 billion people are located in poor areas and do not have the financial means to build the infrastructures needed to provide water to the citizens of their country. 5 Drinking water is an essential part of our everyday life. People must have water to survive, but it must be clean and safe to consume.
Water is not a want but a necessary human right people need in order to survive. However, there are about 660 million people in the world that do not have access to safe water. There are also, an estimate of, 2.4 million people who do not have an accessible toilet. In order to get the water needed, many people have to find hours every day collecting water. Due to this education and commerce become harder and less of a priority, a community cannot thrive when there safe water is lacking. By providing safe water and sanitation for those who do not have it they believe they can achieve global equality and make a better and brighter future for
This is because only a small part of the population, particularly in developing countries, have access to water of acceptable quality. It is estimated that in some countries only 20% of the rural population has water of satisfactory quality. Based on these statistics, it is clear the urgent need for awareness about caring for water use. Almost without realizing it, we are seriously jeopardizing this essential resource, not for us but for our children's children and their generations, aware that in other parts o...
“Drinking water is like washing out your insides. The water will cleanse the system, fill you up, decrease your caloric load and improve the function of all your tissues.” – Kevin R. Stone --
Clean water is needed for good human and animal health, but as DoSomething.org states, over 1 billion people worldwide don’t have a means of getting clean drinking water, an...
Why should we care about this topic?All of us need water everyday but many of us don't have
Having clean water to drink means that water must have microbial, chemical and physical characteristics that meet WHO guidelines or national standards on drinking water quality. Around 780 million people in the world don’t have access to clean drinking water (Millions Lack Safe Water). More than 3.4 million people die each year from water, sanitation, and hygiene-related causes. Nearly all deaths, 99 percent, occur in developing countries. Around the world, diseases in unclean water kill about 1,400 children every day (Clean Drinking Water). There are many organizations that raise money in order to help develop ways or create ways for people to obtain clean drinking water. However, many people are unaware that this is even a problem in other countries because we take clean water for granted.
Clean and safe drinking water resources are becoming scarce as the population grows. The world is facing many problems, but the most important thing needed to survive, is water. Water is getting low in many countries, therefore residents are suffering the misfortune of not having the reliable source of clean water. Today many countries are having water shortages meaning rivers, lakes, streams and groundwater are not enough to rely on for supplying water demands. For example, California is facing a drastic water shortage, the natural water resources are not enough to fulfill their water demands.

As of this year, nearly 1.1 billion people live without clean drinking water and 2.6 billion live without adequate water sanitation. The McDonald's down the street, however, will sell you a 1/3 pounder burger for only 150 gallons. Changes in lifestyle can easily reduce this number and help not only save water, but money as well. Currently, with our diminishing water supply, one of the main goals of humanitarian organizations is ensuring that everyone has the right and equality to water. With global access to water, it reduces the responsibility for political tension between countries fighting to literally stay alive.
Many people around the world need water. Around 780 million people are unable to get clean water (One Billion Affected). People who do have access to clean water in their homes, have to pay a fee. The people who struggle to live obviously do not have enough money to buy water. People who are unable to have clean water have a good chance of dying either from disease or from dehydration. At least 3.4 million people die a year from water problems such as sanitation (One Billion Affected).
