India in danger of moving towards water scarcity condition: Asian Development Bank - 0 views

  •  
    An Asian Development Bank said that India is in danger because of the water scarcity conditions. The annual average of water is reducing per capita and it will cause a water scarcity. They are in a dangerous position. Unfortunately, there are also some other things that causes the increase of the scarcity like more demand of water to factories or some changes of amount of water of rainfalls. I think this is a really important problem, especially for this times. Last year, it didn't rain very much in my city and we had some little problems about water because we didn't have any in our dam. For several weeks, we didn't have much water and I had never thought that would be a difficult thing. It is hard to take a shower, or to brush my teeth with less water. This article was interesting because water is like the most important thing in our life because without water, we can't do anything. I also related water scarcity to my city this summer and I hope that it will rain a lot this year.

Therefore Norway has jumped in to help with this crisis, by saying they will help pay for development aid, because there have been fears that the Ebola crisis would increase the logging in Liberia, who are really desperate for cash. This part of the news shows how Liberia would cut all their trees and take away all of their valuable resources for the money to help cure it's people. As of now Norway will pay the impoverished West African country $150m (£91.4m) to stop deforestation by 2020.
