Water use in Italy

1. I found the video that we watched on Wednesday to be quite shocking on how third world countries were being treated by companies like Nestle and Suez. I was  also a bit angry how the people in those countries had to rely on other sources because water from those companies was so expensive. I was also disgusted by the polluted water that these people in these countries were having to drink.

2. Italy main issue with water is the fact that most of the water is polluted with contaminants, which has been an ongoing issue since 1976. This is due to the millions of tons of solid waste that is produced in Italy every year, putting many at risk. It has affected the lakes in Italy as well, such as in the Lagilo beach area, where the bacteria levels are over 65% higher than normal. This means you could attract skin infections and worse by just going for a swim.
