Water crisis is a general term used to describe a situation where the available water within a region is less than the region's demand. The term has been used to describe the availability of potable water in a variety of regions by the United Nations and other world organizations. Others, for example the Food and Agriculture Organization, said in 2003 that there is no water crisis but steps must be taken to avoid one in the future. The major aspects of the water crisis are allegedly overall scarcity of usable water and water pollution. Water is the fundamental life blood of all organisms on Earth; without it nothing on Earth can survive.
According to Nature (2010), about 80% of the world's population (5.6 billion in 2011) live in areas with threats to water security. The water security is a shared threat to human and nature and it is pandemic. Human water-management strategies can affect detrimentally to wildlife, such as migrating fish. Regions with intensive agriculture and dense population, as the US and Europe, have high threat to water security. The researcher estimate that during 2010-2015, ca US$800 billion will be required to cover the annual global investment in water infrastructure. Good management of water resources can jointly manage biodiversity protection and human water security. Preserving flood plains rather than constructing flood-control reservoirs would provide a cost-effective way to control floods while protecting the biodiversity of wildlife that occupies such areas.
Michael Francis Moore (born April 23, 1954) is an American filmmaker, author, social critic and activist. He is the director and producer of Fahrenheit 9/11, which is the highest-grossing documentary of all time. His films Bowling for Columbine and Sicko also place in the top ten highest-grossing documentaries. In September 2008, he released his first free movie on the Internet, Slacker Uprising, which documented his personal quest to encourage more Americans to vote in presidential elections. He has also written and starred in the TV shows TV Nation and The Awful Truth.
Moore criticizes globalization, large corporations, assault weapon ownership, U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, the Iraq War, the American health care system, and capitalism in his written and cinematic works.
Moore was born in Flint, Michigan, and raised in Davison, a suburb of Flint, by parents Veronica (née Wall), a secretary, and Frank Moore, an automotive assembly-line worker. At that time, the city of Flint was home to many General Motors factories, where his parents and grandfather worked. His uncle LaVerne was one of the founders of the United Automobile Workers labor union and participated in the Flint Sit-Down Strike.
Water Curses
To be the motion actor,
Two broken strings, attracted,
To groom my face in life and doom
Hesitate to throw a coin in,
A wish could be a bad thing,
My mouth is just a ocean of drool
Standing on the bridge I
Wink at you from up high
A talking fish comes as she moves
I want to be like water
And never need a doctor
And carve the earth without my tools
Do it all
All the things that I relate to well,
Like authors and painters
Transparent paper wings
That float above me while I sleep
To make the room more natural
So we could die in it and die in it and die
The color after sunset
Youd do anything to jinx it,
Itll crush your sculpture just like a willow,
He doesnt need a house
His shoes will walk for miles
That drips the bugs parts on my pillow.
I want to be like water and slip into your throat
And make you feel alive and good
I want to be like water and never have a doubt and
reflect what is around my pool
Do it all
All the things that I relate to them
Like authors and painters,
Transparent paper wings
That float above me while I sleep
To make the room more natural
So we could die in it and die in it and die.
And all the dreams that I awake to read like ghostly paintings
And all the things I hate, I wish I didnt have to hate
To find a room thats natural
To live and die in it, live and die, live and die.
I dont think you know just what youre doing
You pretend to know exactly all the things you keep on moving
Said I dont think I know exactly what Im doing
But I tend to know exactly all the things you keep on moving
When you wake up from your snoozin
Ill tell you how to do it my way
Ill tell you what Im doin
Theres a knife up in the drawer
Anybody try to stop it
And Ill find out where youre stompin
And its all about the days you spend
Well, Ill be at our home
I dont think you know just what youre doing
You pretend to know exactly all the things you keep on moving
Said I dont think I know exactly what Im doing
But I tend to know exactly all the things you keep on moving
When you wake up from your snoozin
Ill tell you how to do it my way
Ill tell you what Im doin
Theres a knife up in the drawer
Anybody try to stop it
And Ill find out where youre stompin
And its all about the days you spend
Well, Ill be at our home
When you wake up from your snoozin
Ill tell you how to do it my way
Ill tell you what Im doin
Theres a knife up in the drawer
Anybody try to stop it
And Ill find out where youre stompin
And its all about the days you spend
