Water Problem
There is a huge problem throughout the world over clean water, which is often overlooked in Northern New York. There are people dying in Third World Countries due to inadequate water. The research paper I am writing is about the ongoing debates throughout the world on water problems.

Only 8 percent of water consumption is used for domestic/personal use the rest is needed for agriculture and industrial use.

In South Africa there is currently a Cholera Epidemic because the only water they have access to is infected with this bacteria. ... Only seven hundred and fifty million dollars in the past year was spent on water control. The only way to improve conditions as a society is to invest more money in water management. ...
Future generations of the Chinese people will have serious problems in the near future unless the water pollution and shortage problem is not solved.

Therefore, the realists feel this is a necessary step otherwise China will have mass starvation and deaths in the future (Water and Environment International).
