California, as those who watch the news know, is experiencing a major drought. With way less fresh water available than what is typically needed, the state has had to make some drastic choices. First, water companies are upping the cost of water for the state by up to four times the standard cost which will have to be paid for by the citizens. The governor has had to ask for all citizens to reduce water usage by around 20%. The problem may only seem to be restricted to California for now, but there are several other states with water consumption increasing drastically. Montana, Nevada, and Colorado are in trouble due to increases in usage of water and increasing population. Everyone needs to remember that the water we use is somewhat limited in quantity due to salt water and impure, disease carrying bodies that need to be filtered and cleaned before use.

This problem hasn't hit Nebraska yet, but it could soon and you should all be scared. But in all seriousness, we as a country need to realize that water is technically a commodity that not everyone has. We need to manage how much we use and maintain a reasonable amount used daily, the average use of water per day for Americans is 88 gallons! That's absurd! Between laundry, washing dishes, showers, and other things that happen daily people use so much water. To avoid something like this happening elsewhere, we need to take into account how much we have per year, with changes due to things like snowfall, and use what we have appropriately.

If anyone even reads the blogs that we post (except you Mrs. Hake) say something in the comments. If not I realize I'm literally talking to no one so that's cool. Ltr Anybdy.
