Since the beginning of droughts, nations have risen to the occasion of finding sources of water. They thought of numerous ways to replenished their source. Ancient Egypt used an efficient concept, they irrigated their land to cause it to flourish. They dug deep trenches into the ground and leveled them to flow water to their crops. Today, we have much more complicated technologies. Why can't we simply change the oceans' water into freshwaters that we can use? This world is made up of two-thirds of water and it is about time we use the technology to sustain our life on this planet. It just does not make any sense that children are dehydrated and nations are still trying to figure out how to end droughts? Nations would even consider buying water to sustain their nation. Water is chemical anyways, made of oxygen and hydrogen. I believe we should try to irrigate the land but also in a way that preserves the territories. We cannot simply destroy beautiful forests and leave homeless millions of animals in exchange for our self-sufficiency. We must think of all the world. We got to think bigger than our matters even national interests. And then we can fight for harmony among living beings when all our needs and wants are considered. Each animal brings to the table, necessities to balance an ecosystem. Humans are a part of the ecosystem and we must play the role of custodian of the ecosystem. We cannot simply force an animal out of the ecosystem because that instability will wreck the culture of the system. We must find our place and every animal place. I believe, in theory, that water is also a filter, it can catch other elements and we should develop it to catch and remove our carbon print. Nothing clears a smug more than the rain that pours down, we must understand nature's strategic courses to plan our technological advancements. The more we rely on nature's tests, the more we avoid making the mistakes of the past. Nature has been managing the world for many years, way before our time and our ancestors' time. There are lessons that we have not understood and have not completely fathom. It is necessary to study them again and again to prevent future ignorance. The minds of the future must understand that the knowledge of science, that science's highest and greatest purpose goes beyond biological, and chemical science. We can no longer blind ourselves in the utopia of previous acclaimed science, we have to venture out and test those hypotheses. We must do the work if we want a sustainable future. It requires like Socrates said, "Question and question and when in doubt question again until you find your answer." It is not enough to gain knowledge, we have to use it appropriately. We don't have to start from scratch, we can build on others' successes to succeed in the universal space of intelligence. Even the Ancient Romans' complicated others' discoveries, they used salt water to make salt by creating salt wells in Africa and used it for currency. We cannot give up on tough discoveries. We must be willing to flex our opinion and flex our experiment. We have to consider others' opinions and filter for reasonable ones. Our reasoning is what makes us different than the animals. Human beings can figure out what they want to do and do it to the best of their knowledge. We must not be mean all and end to all. We must be the preserver and protector of all living beings now and further on
