THE arrival of the Loy Krathong Festival signals the beginning of the dry season and, traditionally, it is a time for Thais to pay respect to the Goddess of Water and request good fortune for the months ahead. This year many communities may well be wishing for more rain, as authorities warn that water levels are critically low and there are concerns that many regions will experience drought in the months ahead.

The Amazon rainforest is disappearing in front of our eyes and we are not able to do anything.The study has found that in the past 20 years, an area around the size of two Germanys has been cut from the ancient tropical rainforest which is surely the step towards devastation. As the number of trees is decreasing, the ability to regulate proper weather pattern is also getting disturbed which is causing enormous Drought in Sao Paulo and Brazil.

Unit 5- Agriculture Summary This article explains the hidden uses of water in our everyday life. It estimates that everyday we "eat" 3496 litres of water a day, meaning from our water consumption, to use of products involved this much water. It takes the manufacturing of products into consideration and the everyday uses as in food and washing of dishes, clothes, and ourselves. Insight: I found this very interesting in looking into water consumptions from a broader prospective. This article shows more than the obvious ways of water consumptions and dependence. It really reveals how much more dependent we are for water in that not only it is needed to maintain life, but it is needed for the benefits of life we have in our region. Water is used in almost everything from necessities to recreational use.

Unit 5- Agriculture Summary Ironically a lot of the water we drink from big water bottle or water selling corporations comes from the driest sources. One main source is California, which is in its third driest year. The water obtained from California is eighty percent used for agriculture with farming and watering but the rest we use to drink. According to the companies it is not required for them to reveal their water sources so most water drinkers do not realize they are taking water from drought ridden countries. Insight People in the water business chose to get their water from California for many reasons other than just to drink California dry. one reason California water is used is because old businesses have been there for many many years and continue to work. Also California doesn't have a groundwater regulation policy so water that companies find they can just have. And because big bottling companies do no thane to reveal their sources people just keep on drinking California dry.
