Why Care About Water? A Wiki Poem
by Sarah

W is for water. Water is an essential element. Without water, there is no life. We need water to sustain our living world. Only 1% of water on Earth is available for fresh drinking water. Even that water is hard to access in many regions of the world. Water is scarcely pure these days. Everyday in the news, we hear about polluted rivers, polluted lakes, polluted bays, polluted oceans. Contamination. Desecration. Water and politics. Water and food. Water and life. Are we running out? No. We're just running low. Limited access and no where to go. Fresh water is frozen at the poles, yet melting away. It's a contradiction hard to understand. New deserts are forming where there was once farmland.
