Water Rationing? No way! In a recent article on cbs.com shows that the Santa Clara Valley Water District board of directors voted Tuesday to impose rationing measures on the county's 1.7 million residents. The details of the restriction is not yet known until the board meeting on March 24, 2009. Personally I believe that this is going to anger a lot of people. Water is such a essential part of life and restricting water use is basically restricting life. I think it is stupid that they would rather restrict water use than to build a new sanitation plant to clean the dirty water supply. This article was chosen because I am currently residing in San Jose State dorms and although the water is a little nasty, it is necessary for me to do everyday activities. Without enough water, I could not do laundry, wash my face, brush my teeth, and take a shower. I am sure that there are going to be a lot of complaints about this restriction and it will soon be overturned.
In the article it showed pictures of people using water and it also provides information about how much are they going to restrict. I guess it kind of helps to know how people are using water and how much water is being kept from us. Still, I think that no matter what the board or the article says, this is not going to make any one happy and instead it is going to have a political backlash on the board of directors in charge of the Santa Clara Valley Water District. Once again "How we understand Essays because we live in particular times and places" is what I think about first when I read this article. I just love reading on things that affect me in one way or another.
