Latin America’s Water Crisis: 

Latin America’s Water Crisis By: Elandra Karayan and Julia Rodriguez

Slide2: 

Every day we use water for drink, cooking, washing, food, industry, energy, transportation, rituals, for fun, and life.

Slide3: 

In some countries water is taken for granted, stolen by other countries, and it may not seem like it but water is one of the most valuable resources on Earth.

Slide4: 

In the United States, Australia, Italy, Japan, and Mexico combined use more than 1500 liters of water daily, while in Mozambique, Rwanda, Haiti, Ethiopia, and Uganda combined they use 75 liters or less water daily.

Slide5: 

In Teeming, India a 45 year old woman said that her whole day goes to just planning how she’ll get water.

Slide6: 

Glaciers and snow packs in the Himalayas and East Africa are disappearing fast, just like the rivers and streams where all the people there get the only safe drinking water.

Slide8: 

In Ecuador there are more than 2,000 rivers and streams, no wonder its called the “Water Capital of the World”!
