JESSICA

This is the picture of Indonasian women carrying the plastic jerrycans after collecting water from a dried lake. According to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development in Switzerland, less than 3 percent of the world's water is fresh and the world is finally running out of water. However it is the third world countires who face with the problem at the first hand. The people in the countries with high poverty rate, such as Indonasia, die every year from diseases associated with the lack of safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation. They have no access to safe water today which used to be abandant in the past. Since purchasing fresh water vendors or installing adequate water pipe requires significantly high price compare to their income, it is almost impossible to escape from the water problem. It is ridiculous that they are using tremendously less amount of water then us in developed country, they are still struggling from severe water shortage.

People like us don't acknowledge the seriousness of water shortage since we are easily access to the water. As soon as we trun a tab water starts to pour out from it and we don't face any difficulties unless the tab is broken. We even can adjust the temperature! But what about the women in the picture? They could not even imagene life with drinking fresh water or taking shower in nice hot water. Poverty incooperates with water shotage, and eventually choking innocent people.
