Question

In class, we have talked a lot about the water cycle and the importance of fresh water to life on our planet. Pretend you are writing a letter to the current governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, and convince him that all Texan's need to conserve water and take care of the water cycle. You can explain all the ways water is vital in your life and the activities you are able to do because of clean water. Add in facts and information you have learned or already knew about the water cycle and water resources. Your goal is to write at least an EIGHT sentence paragraph to convince governor Greg Abbott water is a priority in Texas.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

By providing a source of clean, safe drinking water to those in need, we can prevent waterborne disease and circumvent the need to treat it. For those without access to doctors and antibiotics, this prevention is literally life saving.

There are generally two types of water available to individuals and families in developing countries: water that is brought to the home from streams, ponds, rivers, wells, or other similar surface water sources, or water that is processed by a municipal water system. Both types of water are generally contaminated and not suitable for human consumption without causing disease or sickness. Each type requires a specific technological intervention to ensure clean water is available. ACI can provide those interventions.

ACI technologies require no electricity and have no moving parts and are constructed principally of local materials to keep costs low; are produced by local crafts people and/or local manufacturing units to create local jobs and businesses; and provide a value added component that distinguishes them from many other technologies.
