Blog Question

Weigh in: Which is worse? Water shortages vs. water pollution?
Know the chemical properties of water that bear on these two issues. Debate online and in class. Inform yourself first. Have an informed opinion. Be able to argue either side.

Water shortage is worse.
Water shortage is worse because polluted water can be purified, whereas the lack of water cannot be changed. If there is no water present, people cannot create it. However, if there is only dirty water present, its conditions can be changed eventually, even if it may take much time and effort.

Water pollution is worse.
Water pollution is worse because without the right purification procedures or proper care to improve the water's condition, many diseases or infections may spread.

*The chemical properties of water are H2O
