Water and Pollution

Do not soil the water taken and others that multiplies in different ways apparatus to survive. Is worrying in the conservation of the environment and its resources in Venezuela, and increasingly this has been deteriorating in recent years, offering according to the research, a future not very pleasant. What really is happening with the water?, Do not forget that 70% of our globe is covered with oceans, rivers and springs as well, but our water availability is limited and fixed. If you tell the people of Caracas, Valencia, La Guaira, Merida, Maracaibo, for example when you constantly demand better service from there to the Government, more to a fact of a growing population, as the specific case of Valencia, viability has collapsed and where contamination of the lake is a serious problem for residents. To this is added, the fact that for a time gave birth, growth in many industries, which deteriorate the quality of the waters, effects of different types of waste that are dumped indiscriminately, without regard for the damage arising the population, leading to contamination all discrimination of the ecology of our system.

Background statistics show that total availability of water, only about 1% is fresh water or drinking and reports the World Health Organization, only 20% of the population has drinking water.

Of the 1.350 million hectares of arable land that currently exist, 200 million are irrigated artificially and there are 500 miles of acres available to be watered artificially. It has been estimated that to grow the food needed to feed one person per day, it takes 10mil liters of water, the human being to meet their nutritional and hygienic needs a minimum of 30 liters / day per person. If we calculate this to Caracas for example, has 300 lt / day per capita and if you add the demands of the industry that happens to be very significant resource use. Another example, to produce a gallon of milk required 7.5 tons, 1 ton of crude oil demand of 5 tons of water, 1 ton of artificial fibers between 100 and 5000 tonnes a hectare of maize 3,200 tons of water, in relation to water sea, nothing serious, no plans, actions, some are being conducted to prevent the catastrophe that has resulted in a while in Moron and its surroundings have been facing, suffering as a result of mercury contamination, which has led to victims within the population, many contaminated mercury.

Such is the destruction we have been making our beaches, which are few to which one can go swimming, enjoy them, because the mortality of fish in them are, of poisonings that they suffer as a result of pollution for reasons already mentioned.

It is unfortunate that the waters yesterday by the very nature cleanse itself, and they do not, the man demanding the need to build plants to purify it. Studies performed on the data yield significant cost bolivars per capita, leads to the questions Who will cover these expenses? What does the government deal with this situation? Oil exploration justifies the carnage of a lifeline for survival, such as marine life? How to guarantee the birth of normal children, especially those who live on this food source? Will we be saved from this catastrophe? What does the future hold? Among other ... definitely not forget as quoted images. googles.com that water pollution does not only occur in rivers or lakes, but also in the ocean, many of the boats throw oil into the sea causing pollution and the death of many marine animals.
