Avert looming hydrocide

Article Abstract:

Hydrocide, or the degradation of the world's water supply, is becoming a critical health issue. Several factors are causing hydrocide, including improper disposal of wastewater and irresponsible water usage. Poor management also negatively impacts ecosystems and has economic repercussions. A water ethic should be developed to instill a sense of responsibility in users and establish mitigative measures.
