//**Final Project **//!!

There is a lot of crisis with Global Warming and Wars, and other national problems that people often forget about, including water loss all around the country. Some states have started sharing their water, and I think that the only real way to equalize and conserve water all over America is to have every state share their water, so there are no more unfair droughts. There are so many things you can do to save water at home on your own, such as don’t unnecessarily flush your toilet and don’t leave the water running when brushing your teeth, but states, such as California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming have all signed a water sharing pact because they’ve been dealing with a drought for the past eight years. What a water-sharing pact does is it makes sure that all of the states above get an equal amount of water, instead of each of them having an unequal amount of water. I think more states should do what California, Nevada, Arizona and the others are doing because it could seriously decrease the risk of having less water for each state than was intended. It’s a serious problem because there are many countries without enough water, and America, being one with more water than most, can’t turn out like the other countries because then we would have nothing to give to them. In Georgia, they are in the middle of the worst drought in Georgia’s history. More than half of Georgia is having a “moderate hydrologic drought”, while a little bit of Georgia is having a severe ‘hydrologic drought’. They are doing everything they can in Georgia to increase their water supply, such as the at-home tips like not flushing as much, and not leaving the water running. There is still a lot more that has to be done in Georgia, and if they had the ability to share their water supply with another state then they wouldn’t be in the middle of their worst drought in the history of their state.
