ALMOST 70% OF THE EARTH IS COVERD BY WATER ,BUT DO YOU  KNOW HOW MUCH OF THIS WATER IS PURE?     THE ANSWER IS ONLY  1%.

MAYBE YOU'LL ASK YOURSELF WHETHER OR NOT  THAT WAR COULD HAPPEN.

DESPITE  HAVING ONLY 1% OF PURE  WATER ,WE ARE CONTAMINATING THE SOURCES OF THIS GIFT.

THEREFORE, THE COUNTRIES THAT HAVE A HUGE AMONT OF WATER ARE GOING TO BE TARGETED IN THIS EXPECTED WAR BY THE SUPER POWER COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD.

DO YOU THINK THAT WE WOULD REALY HAVE A NEW WORLD WAR BECAUSE OF WATER ?

HOW COULD WE PREVENT THIS WAR ?

CAN WE FIND  NEW SOURCES FOR WATER ,OR WE HAVE NO THING TO DO IN SUCH A SITUATION???????

Hi Twister,

What countries are at risk here, in your opinion? What countries do you consider to be superpowers? I'd also like to make a suggestion: try to avoid unnecessary capital letters in your writing. It souns as if you were shouting when you write your entire post in capital letters.

Thanks for your reply.

I'll take your advice into my consideration. 

I think that the middle east would be at risk entirely because of the pure water which exists there.

The superpowers are america and the european countries.

Hi Twister,

You said:

Are you kidding? The Middle East is one of the driest regions in the world, and Saudi Arabia imports water from the Nordics! Or perhaps I'm just ignorant of some of the facts...

Hi Englishuser,how are things?

No,I'm not kidding.

maybe you are right about Saudi Arabia.But I've sad "The Middle east entirely".

I would like you to tell me about the counties that you think could be at risk.

For me,I believe it's not essential to debate about the names of the regions.

we have to discuss the problem of fresh water itself.

By the way ,dude, you're not ignorant at all .

As the world's population grows, as available sources of fresh water begin to disappear, or as nations pollute the water supply, a lack of fresh water will no longer remain an isolated issue. It threatens the quality of human life by causing crop failures, transmitting water-born diseases, and creating violent conflicts as governments, unable to cope with such complex economic and social issues, become more aggressive in an effort to satisfy their peoples or search for 'scapegoats' to justify their own failed policies.

1-What do you think it would be like to live where you did not have adequate water to survive?

2-How would you survive?

3-How would you feel if a country which bordered yours began to build a dam that would divert water upon which you depended for survival to serve the citizens of that other country?
 

4-What problems would such a dam create within  your country?

5-How do you think leaders of your government might respond to such a move on the part of the neighboring government?

6-Can these problems be solved by organizations like the United Nations ?
 

7-What happens if citizens from your country begin to invade the borders of another in search of scarce resources?

Hi Twister,

I must say I think one of the biggest problems we have in the world is the overpopulation. If there were less people in the world, there would be enough pure water (and other vital resources) for each one of us. Therefore, what we should do would be to make sure the population of the world decreases.

I think that we are going to find other source.
