fresh water People have different views with regard to how to use fresh water. Some people argue that they can use fresh water as they like, but I believe that there are more benefits when governments control the use of fresh water. (While there are some benefits on using fresh water as people like, I would argue that it is better to control the use of it by governments.) On the one hand, people can benefit from drinking fresh water freely. To be more specific, people do not pay for water bills if they are allowed to use fresh water as they like, and this practice can help them reduce financial burden. For example, the high price of water has become a huge burden for some impoverished families in some countries. If people do not need to pay for it, they can spend this money on other items, which can help them to improve the quality of life. On the other hand, I would argue that it is better to restrict the use of fresh water by governments. First of all, this practice is beneficial for people to save water. Most countries around the world are confront with(面对) the problem of water shortage in recent years, if governments do not restrict the use of water, people will waste a large number of fresh water every year. In the future, people will face the situation without any water. Secondly, if people drink fresh water as they like, they are more likely to get stomach illness because there are many bacteria in the water, which people cannot see them directly. Therefore, governments should control the use of fresh water to ensure that everyone can drink safe and clean water. In conclusion, while there are some advantages on using fresh water as people like, I would argue that it is better to control the use of it by governments.
