| Title: ‘National Geographic’ Water Issue: Emerging Problems Have Many Solutions, But Will We Act Fast Enough? | This article is actually about another National Geographic article. It talks about how although the world is covered in water, we are running low on water suitable for humans. It shows a few examples of how bad this problem has gotten, spanning from retreating glaciers to citizens of Delhi killing each other for a few containers of water. It is clear from these examples that something needs to be done to change this problem. |

| Title: The Dry Facts About Water | This article plainly states that those in developed countries tend to waste water while those in undeveloped countries are forced to live without.

Also in the article, she states that the water crisis in some areas isn’t necessarily about water scarcity, but improper management and usage. |
