Scarcity

toc =Facts on Water Scarcity= In other countries, water is sold by trucks for inflated prices. People have to walk miles to get their water from lakes, groundwater pumps, or streams. Desalination plants are springing up everywhere to get more fresh water. Brazil, Russia, and Canada are the top three countries with fresh water.

=What Can Be Done About This?= In the US places like California and Atlanta, go through drought periods. Every six months the weather changes from wet to dry. Right now they are going through their wet period. Although they are starting to use up too much water. By the time they reach their dry period they will be out of water. To fix this problem people need to stop diverting water from other places where it is needed.
