Blog Name

Many of you may wonder why my blog has such a poetic title. Honestly, it seemed natural and I did not even think about Samuel Coleridge while choosing such a titled. However, the catchy phrase fits the delAWARE theme perfectly.

Fresh water is becoming an increasingly difficult to access and even reason for war in many places around the world. United States is not exempt from such devistation, just outside Philadelphia in Chester and Camden many wonder if their water is killing them. Below is a quote about water scarcity in an editorial sharing the same title as this blog.

“The International Conference on Water” held in Singapore in 2001, concluded that billions of people throughout the world are facing the problem of freshwater shortage, while “The International Freshwater Conference” held in Bonn, Germany, in December 2001, stressed that one fifth of the world’s population do not have access to sufficient clean drinking water. This is because wastewater from 2.5 billion people cannot be disposed of hygienically, making polluted drinking water the number one cause of disease around the world, ultimately leading to poverty and gender inequality.
