Water use in my country

1) I agree that water conservation is crucial with the increase of global warming. The documentary emphasized the importance of water conservation and the need to do so for the future. After seeing the documentary, I realized that fresh clean water is a great privilege that I have. Other third world countries do not have access to clean water or other corporations abuse water use for exploitation even though that water is for other people to drink in the area. I was shocked that corporations exploit water for their own economic gain. 

2) Water shortage has greatly affected Turkey. Not only does the country have a serious water issue, they are also struggling with its worst drought in a decade. Climate change is only part of the reason; poor water management is also to blame. Ten dams supply the city with water. But the current water levels of their reservoirs are only at 29.8 percent of total capacity, according to the Istanbul Water and Sewerage Authority.

Especially hard hit by the water shortages are the western part of Turkey and central Anatolia. 

Apart from climate change, poor urban planning is seen as a further reason for the water shortage. Istanbul's urban areas has overtaken fields, forests, wetlands and other areas where water resources lie. The Istanbul metropolitan municipality has begun to build dams and new water channels, but the population continues to grow and has made the city to begin rerouting water from sources outside the city.
