Water pollution in China started with industrial development and has become more one of the most devastating environmental problems faced by the country today. From the chart‚ we can see that as the country’s GDP rises‚ the volume of wastewater discharge increases as well. This suggests that to achieve a rise in GDP‚ the environment has to be sacrificed. The reason for this is that wastewater treatment techniques and facilities have fallen far behind from the growth of industrial production and

the young fish are obviously representative of older and younger generations of people‚ respectively. Water surrounds fish and is quite necessary for them to survive -- basically‚ it is their life -- and the younger fish’s ignorance about this essential thing serves to represent the author’s view that younger people have grown removed from their surroundings and from essential functions of human life. This line of thinking is not uncommon; a common trend throughout human history is that older generations

The problem in the video is that Nestle is essentially gaining an astronomical profit from something that is not only free from our earth but they’re selling it to consumers for a substantial price. Nestle is making over a million a day stealing water and ruining our ecosystem for profit. I think it’s wrong for a company to come in and “recycle” for a profit. Not to mention‚ they’re not contributing back to the cities they DON’T pay taxes in and they’re creating hundreds of sinkholes from digging

Properties of Water Introduction: Water’s chemical description is H2O. As the diagram to the left shows‚ that is one atom of oxygen bound to two atoms of hydrogen. The hydrogen atoms are "attached" to one side of the oxygen atom‚ resulting in a water molecule having a positive charge on the side where the hydrogen atoms are and a negative charge on the other side‚ where the oxygen atom is. This uneven distribution of charge is called polarity. Since opposite electrical charges attract‚ water molecules
