Ancient Sunlight What I've learned (1 page essay)

In the desert, rainy season comes and there is plenty of water for everyone. All animals and creatures are happy with the plentiful supply of drinking water. As time is spent, rain has lessened, and the heat of the sun evaporates, the level of water slowly lowers. During this time the need and demand becomes more a necessity. The water holes are more of a challenge for the land dwellers as its run by those commanding the murky waters.  As the water becomes more a survival necessity, animals comes to drink cautiously. On occasion, an animal gets caught off guard, and during an unfocused moment, has quickly found itself in the clutches of the hidden alligator. Seconds later, it has realized it's taken its last drink of water, killed by the blood thirst hierarchy in charge.

In today's time, water supply is governed in the same manner. No matter where you go. Someone is capitalizing on the use of water. You are either paying for in the stores through the bottled waters or the "filtered" water dispensers. At home someone has to pay for the water usage. California has been officially been put in a drought by our governor. If you waste water or use too much, you will be fined. The hierarchy of government and corporate alligators has their hands on the water valve, readying themselves floodwater curfew." Those caught outside the regulated lines are paying financially, while some, who can't afford to pay for water in some countries, are also paying with their lives with parasitic infested drinking waters.

With water here being so overly used, we are using up our resources at an alarming rate. As 

water resources depletes, crops cannot be irrigated, the land dries up, and what then are we left 

with. Can the Bay Area become the new Pacific dessert? The priorities of having the greenest 

lawn polluted with fertilizers and excessive watering, has blotched our sight of our inability for 

future drinkable water.
