Please help check if there is any unnatural expression Some people think that people should be given right use of fresh water as they like. Others believe governments should control toughly over the use of fresh water. Discuss both view and give your own opinion. ---- While many believe that governments have the authority of toughly controlling their citizens’ water usage, I personally prefer the view that consumers should be left to their own devices on their fresh water consumption. On the one hand, it is argued that people’s fresh water usage should be strictly limited to an amount by the government because fresh water is a finite resource. To illustrate, unlike seawater, fresh water from water bodies such as lakes and rivers is mostly produced from participation, the amount of which is often determined by weather and climate conditions. In other words, there is no limitless fresh water for people to squander on the planet. Further concern is that seawater desalination which involves removing salt from seawater can be expensive. The price of water in most countries cannot cover the cost of this pricey process. Therefore, governments should impose a limitation on people’s use of fresh water. On the other hand, however, I insist on the point of view that people should be granted the right to decide how much fresh water they want to use. Firstly, people are consumers who pay for the fresh water they use, which means that they would not waste their money on purpose. Secondly, it goes against the values of a free society if people could not make their own choice in terms of fresh water. A final point worth mentioning is that household water usage is far less than industrial and agricultural water usage. Governments need to pay more attention to those sectors rather than individual consumption. In conclusion, I believe that government should not control people’s water consuming behaviour, and people should be given the right to determine on their own water usage.
