Consequences Of Droughts

     In our world today, if people don’t make an attempt to stop droughts dreadful events will develop. In a short time crops will die and not produce a required food item. Also, if the ground gets dry, fires would just “spring” out of the ground. Fires would take over and burn everything in their path. Fires would also injure, if not kill, humans everywhere in a blazing inferno. Then, without water, people will lose all the fluid in their bodies, causing humans to get dehydrated, lazy, and utterly extinct.

Problem

     On the planet earth there is a required item called water, H20, rain, the list goes on and on and on... Due to droughts water gets dried up. When the water dries up life gets stopped in its process of growth, or when life on earth is growing. The water supply in a lake or area depends on the amount of rain, so if there is very little rain, the area has a small water supply. About 2-3 percent of the world’s water supply is fresh water that is drinkable. Finally, too much of the world gets too little rain which creates deserts or dehydrates people.

Causes

     Drought is a deadly natural disaster caused by mother nature. El Nino is one cause of a drought. El Nino is a weather change in the Pacific Ocean which means warmer winters and way hotter summers. Also droughts are occurring in the Pacific Ocean which means fish that can’t swim to the bottom (of the ocean) will not get water and will suffocate.

Possible solutions

Listed below are some possible solutions for droughts.

1. Don’t leave water sprinklers on all night because that wastes water.

2. Load the dishwasher completely to reduce the number of times you have to wash dishes.

3. Families can store rainwater for later use.

What Is Being Done Today

     Some solutions are being used to prevent droughts. Scientists have found ways to produce rain by shooting crystals into the clouds. The crystals condense into snow and fall. As the crystals enter the earth's atmosphere the snow melts and becomes rain. Other practices are using water towers and pumping stored water into cities. Aquifers store water under ground.  The stored water can be pumped out and used in homes.  Homes on some islands have slanted roofs, so that when rain water falls it goes in a bucket.  It is part of some native American religions that rain dances are effective in bringing rain.  

How The Invention Works

     Our product, the H₂O Saver, is not as perplex as you may think. It has an open top so rain water can get in. Then, the temperature sensor senses a high temperature and the claw pulls the first tube down. Water runs through the tube. The water then travels into a second bucket. The tubes in the bucket will send the water on its merry way into the hot, dry ground.

How The H20 Saver Helps The Environment

     The H2o saver helps the environment by preventing droughts. The H₂O Saver is put in your yard, and then waters your yard using five tubes. Without the H₂O Saver your yard could get so dry fires could easily start up. If there is a drought then everything will become dry and sick.
