Going on the ferry field trip today I realized that although New York may not be facing the major water shortage issues very present in Jordan, it still has to deal with water issues. We all live in different countries with different amounts of water available, but we all have to deal with making that water clean and safe. Through complex systems each country develops a way to deal with keeping the water clean.

Keeping the water clean isn’t so simple though. With a fight on both sides, between those who are dumping waste into the water and those trying to keep it clean, we are not going to get anywhere. New York is lucky enough to have plenty of available water, which is why it’s so sad that the water can’t even be kept clean.
