Great Debaters in Los Angeles

We've had so many enthusiastic students participating in the Global Debates! It's fantastic to see such great efforts happening all over the world, and to see that students are making their voices heard.

The importance of water

Guest Blogger: Valentina Vial, Villa Maria Academy, Santiago Chile

Everyone has the right to have water.  This can come from a water source like a river, a stream, a pond or a source of groundwater. This right, in places where water is plenty and the users aren’t many, is well respected and doesn’t cause conflicts. But if we pay attention, in places where water is scarce and it doesn’t reach all the inhabitants of that area, we can see that there are conflicts there. We can’t live without water, so if it’s scarce, people have to fight to get it, which makes it very valuable. In desert areas, defining water rights is a real problem.
