    I enjoyed reading this article because it was very informative. Not only did the article provide statistics in regards to how much water we need for our everyday food intake but it also allows the reader to understand how much money is put into making that food for us to eat. It focuses on the fact that switching to a vegan like or vegetarian diet worldwide would be significantly beneficial to our growing population.

    This article had interesting but scary statistics. Especially the statistic on how much water it takes to produce certain food items. I never realized just how much water society uses to function. In addition, humans are reaching the carrying capacity of the world far too fast. The author makes good suggestions for how to fix this issue. The solutions are not only answering the problem of a food shortage but also climate change.

    This was honestly eye opening seeing how much water is used everyday for even the most simplest of things. Reading about how much water it takes to produce food and how much of ends up being wasted in alarming. I recommend this article for anyone who has a topic that relates to this social issues at it provided in depth details on the matter. It's crazy knowing how much water we use daily without knowing how valuable it is, especially now.

    The article is so true about water scarcity being our demise, it will be such an catastrophe for the food crisis to strike especially in Arizona. The drought plays a huge part in supporting water scarcity, it dries out our lands and empties out the rivers. There are some good solutions to how to resist against climate change.

      A way to prevent food scarcity as much as possible while water shortage becomes a real time issue
  • rely on groundwater that’s already overpumped.
  • The nation’s largest reservoir already has hit the level that triggers mandatory shortages — 1,075 feet (328 meters) above sea level.
  • most deeply felt in Arizona
  • exchange for U.S. funding
  • canal
  • reservoirs dipped to historic lows across the West. Scientists blame climate change for the warmer, more arid conditions over the past 30 years.
  • melted snow from the Rocky Mountains
  • drinking water, nourishment for crops and habitat for plants and animals
  • storing water underground and in Lake Mead and through conservation.

      preparing for the shortage ahead of time
  • recycled water
  • desalinating water from the Sea of Cortez in Mexico.
  • all of those things need to be done.”
  • some of the water that farmers will lose will be replaced by other sources next year.
  • e groundwater infrastructure.
  • drip irrigation that makes water use more efficient and crops more productive,

    The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.

    It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.

    I can't imagine how a farmer feels. The colorado river needs a dramatic change.

    With only 3% of world's fresh water, this causes the threat of water scarcity. Some of the main causes are water pollution, agriculture, population growth, overall climate change. This is overall damaging our ecosystems and lack water for everyone all around the world.

    Water scarcity is one of the biggest concerns of our time. The photos and videos on this site do a good job of conveying how dire the situation is, and how we should be paying more attention to such a precious resource.

    This is a huge concern especially when companies are starting to sell water for profit

    This article provides information about how Arizonans can get the security they need for water availability. The text includes details on how ground water is managed as well as utilizing the Colorado river project to help with current water concerns.

    I've been noticing how many people are sharing their concerns with water scarcity in Arizona, which is scary to think about. Any state that has hot, dry or humid weather is at high risk of this because of how much water is needed to survive in extreme temperatures. I appreciate the efforts described in the article about projects that are contributing to water scarcity in the nation and how to conserve as much as we can. Water is truly an under appreciated thing essential for the planet's survival.

    This is about how the water security in Arizona is bad, and is in need of management of how we use water. The water in Arizona is told to be very much an important source for Arizona and is needed for our health.

    Global poverty is an ongoing battle that plagues various countries. The article describes and shows data on why some countries are dealing with poverty and why they are unable to solve the problem. Various factors also play into whether individuals are able to obtain food and water where they live.

    This is a good article because it explains really well what poverty actually is. Also, how so many people are living on little to no dollars everyday.
