What would YOU do for water?

I recently finished reading the book The Water Wars by Cameron Stracher it was about how there was not enough water around the world for everyone,so these wars occur.These wars occurred all around the world and Vera meets Kai and that's when it all begins.Hopefully though this never happens in the real world.The truth is we cant stand many days without water but with out food we can survive for months.Cameron Stracher really describes the world and how it would be like if we ran out of water.Also how people would risk ANYTHING just to have a drop of water.This book make me realize how little we care about water (well specifically teenagers).In the book they treat water very differently then we do now.
 
      One way I notice how in the book they treat water differently then we do is for example, teenagers tend to drink soda or juice but they don't like water.Even some kids are forced to drink water,but in this book anyone would be happy to drink water they would be lucky to even have a drop of water.Another example is in the book, people were very protective over their water, they practically guarded it with there lives.In the real world people wouldn't let a bullet go through them for water.Also in the book it was said that if you let a drop of water go to waste (for example drop if you drop it on the floor) then you can get arrested and even killed.In the real world this wouldn't happen no one would care they would think its just water.A third example is we use water for pools and taking a bath right? but in this dystopian world they have things called "dry baths"which I have no idea how it works and they don't have pools because the refer to that as a waste of water.This book was set in the future and the would mention the past (present for us) a lot saying how we didn't take care of water, and how we used water for useless reasons (pools,taking a bath).This get's me worried because what if this actually happens one day we would be fighting water because there would not be enough water for everyone.

       All in all, this made me see the world differently after reading this book.This book taught me to be greatful for the the thing I have because maybe some day there would not be enough of it for everyone.It also taught me to drink water now that its here and now that there is enough for everyone.Teenagers should read this book so that they can to learn something about it and not to waste water and take care of it.Overall I really loved this book I recommend this book to everyone, if you love dystopian books this is a great book for you!
