The city of Sydney, Australia is facing a long-term water shortage that leaves it in desperate need of usage changes. Droughts have led to a distressing lack of rainwater in the area, and the city is looking to alternate sources. The city\u2019s population continues to grow, as well as its water usage, and it is a struggle to keep up. A recent drought knocked out 20% of their dam supply, and as the years go on it will deplete faster and faster. Another of the suggested ways to preserve water is through conservation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to The Guardian<\/a>, efficiency programs have been tested within the area, and have not only saved water, but money as well. These programs work in tandem with other operations that desalinate & recycle different water sources. Another idea that the city had was recycling and purifying wastewater, though this idea would first need to be approved by residents. Between all of these plans, hopefully Sydney will be able to find the solution it needs to preserve its water.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The US Geological survey conducted research regarding different effects of droughts. In their recent study, they found that many prolonged droughts can cause a higher risk of exposure to arsenic in well water. Maine, New England, the Midwest, and the Southwest are all areas whose arsenic levels are regularly higher than the federal level allows. Although municipal water supplies are carefully monitored, private well water is not. This can be a danger to Americans because over 43 million people rely on private well water. A previous study revealed that somewhere between 1.5 and 2.9 million people are drinking water with unsafe levels of arsenic, and this number may increase to over 4 million in case of a drought.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Increased levels of arsenic may be caused by a decrease in groundwater levels, which causes changes in water chemistry. There are also some human responses to droughts, such as using ground water rather than surface water, which may also affect exposure. The number of droughts is expected to increase as a result of climate change, exposing even more Americans to unsafe drinking water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Arsenic is highly dangerous because it causes a wide variety of health issues, and is odorless, colorless and tasteless - making it undetectable without a test. To help combat this issue, many states which are at high risk for droughts have programs to provide private well owners with arsenic tests. Although not all testing is free, these programs help make it affordable since it is recommended to test water every 3-5 years. By increasing awareness, doing additional research, and regularly testing water we can fight this issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[171,192,57,189,190,191,51],"class_list":["post-4010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-enpress-news","tag-communities","tag-dam","tag-drinking-water","tag-preservation","tag-shortage","tag-sydney","tag-water-system"],"yoast_head":"\nSydney
