Introduction
Water
is the most desired and the most essential natural resource for living beings.
In fact, human beings are naturally made with 70% of body structure formed
through water therefore; the need of the water consumption across globe has
remained subjected to controversy and analysis. Scholars believe that more than
one billion population of the word especially in developing nations is lacking
the supply of fresh water which is resulting in the growth of economical crisis
and sanitation related problems. To make the situation worse, the water
resources in developing nations are barely enough to provide support in
electricity production. Thus, the overall situation about electricity and water
resources in developing nations needs grave and real time reforms. The issues
of water resources in developing nations can be resolved with the help of
recycling of wastage along with proper channel making about the consumption of
water.
The
Problem of Water Resources’ Availability: A Cursory View
At
first, it is important to point out that availability of natural water
resources is decreasing rapidly in developing nations. According to a report
published in 2006 by UNISEF, there are about one billion people across globe
who lack proper sanitation and fresh water supply because of non availability
of proper management of natural and fresh water resources, “Worldwide, over one
billion people lack access to an adequate water supply; more than twice as many
lack basic sanitation (.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK28449/”>WHO/UNICEF, 2006).”
(George, 2008) one would view that the problem has grown in the recent decades
of 21st century because of the rapid growth of industrialization in
developing nations. As a result of massive consumption of available natural
resources, the fresh water supply to all individuals has become a utopia.
Consequently, in the premises of developing nations, people suffer from water
related issues and they have to transform their living habits in order to
survive.
Further,
people in developing nations have to search for water resources which is time
consuming and economically expensive. In other words, in the Asian nations like
India and Pakistan, people have to look for waters because the over consumption
of available water resources has resulted in the draught like areas in their
living premises. The process of searching and finding the fresh water is a
costly matter to those who live in rural surroundings. Sometimes, the females
in the families have to go miles in order to find water sources because they
live in a dry area where water level is almost zero.
Moreover,
the over availability of water resources for industries has made the situation
worse. These industries consume a great deal of available water resources and
thus, the common people remain unacquainted with what they deserve. This issue
ultimately affects the water based energy production according to a report
published in WWDR in 2014, “The report notes that roughly 75% of all industrial
water withdrawals are used for energy production. Tariffs also illustrate this
interdependence: if water is subsidized to sell below cost” (United Nations
University, 2014) It is thus proved that industries in developing nations are using
a lot of available water resources which is actually making the problem worse
for common as well as energy management.
In
the same context, the electricity related issues are growing in developing
nations due to less availability of water as natural resource. Moreover, the
electricity production is affected by the internal problems of people who use
electricity illegally and thus, they become accountable for the line loss and
tripping of electric system. In other words, the energy production is less than
the energy consumption in developing nations and in spite of making efforts,
the governments are failing to meet the requirements of industries and domestic
users.
Secondly,
if energy production is associated with this issue, it is quite noticeable
factor that the water availability for energy production is reducing in
developing nations. They still rely mainly on either coal or water based energy
production houses. The coal is available easily through mines but water
resources are limited and they ought to remain restricted for usage. The
problem is growing because of the dependency level of these nations over the
availability of fresh water sources in nature. Unlike developed nations who
have now adopted the nuclear technique to produce energy, developing nations
are struggling to maintain the balance between the boomed industrialization and
the common water supply along with keeping in mind that their industries would
run well only if they keep the energy production up to the mark.
The
Licensed Water Distribution and Nuclear Energy Management: A State of
Resolution
In
the list of some problems discussed above, it is essential to achieve the state
of resolution as soon as possible because if the water resources remain at
jeopardy, the developing nations might lose their chances to survive in the
race of global progress. The first solution which might change the course of action
in giving access to the available water resources is the license provision. In
other words, the government should decide when and how the supplies of water
would take place in a balanced way to the industries so that fresh water can be
saved from over consumption and at the same time, it is available for the
energy production as well. An alternative of this energy production would be
relying more on developing nuclear energy production houses.
Additionally,
the nuclear energy production houses are the best alternatives because they do
not consume great amount of water in order to produce electricity. They have
the choices of radioactive products like Uranium etc. in order to produce
electricity at the expected level. The maintaining of demand and supply can be
balanced by producing more and more energy through nuclear based electricity
productions.
Conclusion
Thus,
the electricity and water resources are in the centre of problems in developing
nations, however, by taking the steps of licensed method and nuclear energy
production houses’ concept, the governments in the developing nations can
resolve their issues to a large extent.
