water

about 366,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water is on earth only 0.07 is drinkable. 366 quintillions is the same as 366,000,000,000,000,000,000. it takes 27,00 gallons of water to make a hamburger, because of all that power thats needed to produce and package the meat. and to give to the cow, because the cows need water too. and about the same reasons for every other ingredient, like buns, cheese, tomato, lettuce and so on. we consume the most water per day by 151 gallons, europe is 66 gallons a day and Africa is 5 gallons of water a day. there is 7 billion humans in the world today, and 1.2 billion people have no access to clean drinkable water. my score was 2,231. a little over the national score but it was because of the questions and i didn't know the answer so i just went with the average you start out with.

atom bomb cost of life, cost to the environment and social isssues

The cost of life caused by the atom bomb was great compared to any other weaponry used. it did not only kill but also injured ans caused disease and radiation. When the atom bomb was dropped people remembered a quote about the "destroyer of worlds". This destroyer of worlds was not only a threat to the people but a threat to the environment also. When the A-bomb was dropped it caused a lot of harm and radiation to the environment. There has been a lot of discussion about this bomb but even now after seeing the devastation it has caused we can not make the decision to get rid of these weapons of mass destruction.        

New Mexico and Texas

Why has Texas filed a lawsuit against New Mexico with the U.S. Supreme Court? Do you think this lawsuit is justified - why or why not? 

They filed a lawsuit against New Mexico because apparently New Mexico is failing at "water delivery commitments under the 1938 Rio Grande Compact." I don't think this is a justified reason because New Mexico is a very dry place. and Texas is a very different place. and New Mexico has been in a drought and we need the water a little more in New Mexico. 

What, if anything, does this case tell us about the current importance of water scarcity as a source of conflict? What do you think can be done to avoid such conflicts on a global scale in the future?

it brings us aware of whats happening with our water. we so share the river with Texas. this is a major conflict. one reason is that if you look at America we all ready have a hard time sharing and when it comes to something big like water then phew this should be fun. i think we need to stop being greedy and come to a agreement that we both need water. and its one of our main resources. divide it equally and make sure both states have enough water to survive 

Texas filed a lawsuit that against New Mexico with the U.S supreme court.
Because Texas suffered of the devastating drought.and New Mexico’s pumping of groundwater in the region below Elephant Butte Dam to the New Mexico-Texas border is reducing Rio Grande flows into Texas.
Texas believed that New Mexico break their agreement used more ground water and doesn't give them the right amount of water through the rio grande.
I think Texas and New Mexico can discuss about this problem and make an agreement instead of lawsuit other state. and to prevent this kind of problem. In my opinion, people should stop wasting water and save it

The Problem with Water

Texas has filed a lawsuit against New Mexico because it believes that New Mexico's use of more groundwater results in less water being distributed to Texas. Even though this may not be correct under the agreements involved, I think this case is justifiable because water is a very important resource that causes quite a bit of damage to an economy lacking it.

This case tells us that even in our country, we have problems getting water effectively distributed everywhere. It tells us that we should be more efficient with our water so that shortages would not be so costly. As this case exemplifies, conflict can ignite as a result of water resources, especially during seasons of drought. Under the perfect system, however, these conflicts would have a lesser chance of occurring.

In order to prevent these conflicts and improve the world's water supply, we should conserve more water and distribute it to places where it is very scarce. Of course, this idea will most not have that much of an effect because of the sheer stubbornness of people in this time period.
