This would lower rates of starvationAccess to clean water means people can use it for cooking, irrigation of crops, watering livestock.

This would aid in drought areasThese wells are sustainable. That means drought-stricken areas do not get temporary relief. They get relief that helps them become more independent.

This would help decrease diseaseClean water reduces disease for several reasons. One, dirty water leads to water-borne illnesses. Two, lack of hydration leads to health problems and secondary infections. Three, access to clean water helps doctors more easily treat villagers.

SO WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE PARAGRAPH WISE?

WHAT IS A COUNTERCLAIM?THINK OF THIS AS

FOR EXAMPLE: COUNTERCLAIM

CRITICS MIGHT ARGUE THAT THE DIGGING OF THESE WELLS IS TOO COSTLY.

POW!

REBUTTAL: AS AN EXAMPLE

HOWEVER, THE COSTOF LIFE IS FAR GREATER AND AS MORE PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED, THE COST OF TREATING THEM RISES.

POW!

IMPACTLEAVE THEM WITH A CALL TO ACTION.

FOR THE MORE ADVANCED OF YOU, I WILL DISCUSS AN IMPACT CALCULUS. FOR

EVERYONE ELSE, JUST TELL YOUR AUDIENCE DIRECTLY WHAT THEY SHOULD DO.
