WATER AND WATER PROBLEMS FOR OUR FUTURE

Abstract

Water is a miracle liquid that covers about 2/3 of our world and our body. Although it is used as if it is unlimited, the water resources in the world are unfortunately limited. Water resources that can be used safely for domestic, agricultural, and industrial purposes are only a small part of the total water resources in the world, such as 2.5%. Since water resources are not equally distributed for all people and countries in the world, the importance of water in our lives has started to make itself felt even more with domestic, agricultural, and industrial activities and climate changes. Recently, with the effect of technology, microplastics in water and food have started to come to the fore. This situation reveals that access to clean and healthy water and efficient and effective use of water is important and that necessary precautions should be taken as soon as possible. For this reason, the protection of existing water resources, the development of alternative water resources, the use of technologies compatible with the ecological environment, and their dissemination can be counted among the measures that can be taken.
