Description: The General Assembly,

CONCERNED that many of the water supplies are contaminated with harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, parasites, viruses, etc.

REALIZING that some individuals, businesses, and nations dump hazardous materials, including biological, chemical, and radioactive waste that can enter water supplies

MOST, if not all of the toxins and harmful micro-organisms can cause illness, long-term health problems, or even death

NOTING that water is essential for most forms of life

ALSO NOTING that there are WA nations that may have a weak economy and therefore are unable to afford purified drinking water

CONCERNED that national populations could become infected by water-borne disease, which could spread to cause an epidemic;

HEREBY:

CREATES the World Assembly Water Purification Treatment (WAWPT) to assist nations in cleaning and treating their water supplies

DECLARES that the WAWPT will create water purification systems to ensure the nations of clean water. If unable to place the water purification systems within their nation, the WAWPT will hire specialists to purify the water manually. If the WAWPT isn't able to purify the water manually, they would ask other nation neighbors whether or not it's possible to build the water purification systems within their land. If the WAWPT is unable to purify water manually, it will ask other neighboring nations for assistance to build water purification systems on their land with due financial compensation.

AFFIRMS that the WAWPT will create a clean universal water system to regulate nations that are low on water and would pump or irrigate water into that nation if it is low. The WAWPT will attempt to persuade and convince other WA members to create and enforce laws against pollution in international waters

PROHIBITS the dumping of toxins/toxic materials in any manner that could possibly contaminate water/water supplies

MANDATES basic education on water toxicity and waterborne disease

I feel like this proposal is going to be submitted soon

[Grays Harbor]

A few observations:

1.) AUC (another useless committee)
2.) The WA cannot tax nations.
3.) We really don't require a resolution defining what "water" is.
4.) We do not require mandatory vaccinations.

[The Archiepelago]

I don't see anything wrong. Though I'm new so Idk if I'm right. Haha.

[Bitter Hold]

I support this proposal

Oh by the way Grays Harbor,
What is the AUC?
The proposal doesn't tax anyone
There could be a logical reason on why he would be defining water, but lets not make this a flame war
Well, a mandatory vaccination could be reasonable, but who knows?

[Grays Harbor]

I support this proposal

Oh by the way Grays Harbor,
What is the AUC?

reread my post, it is in there. The part in parenthesis right after "AUC"

The proposal doesn't tax anyone

then you need to reread this part

FURTHER DECLARES that the WAWPA is both funded by the General Fund and any other nations that would be willing to support

There could be a logical reason on why he would be defining water, but lets not make this a flame war
Well, a mandatory vaccination could be reasonable, but who knows?

Who is flaming? I made an observation. Its what we do here.
As for mandatory vaccinations, I would recommend you go read the debate for a draft proposal which suggests that very thing, and the many and varied arguments against it.

[Panism]

Uhmm... It isn't really a tax; it's for any nations that would be willing to donate for this cause. It's not really a tax...

[Enn]

DEFINES water as:
A: A clear, odorless, colorless, and tasteless liquid that is the basic necessity for life
B: A molecule that consists of 2 Hydrogen(s)(H) and 1 Oxygen (O), also known as H2O

Good to know heavy water's good to go then.

[Krioval]

Why does this proposal mention vaccination at all? That and water purification really do not need to be considered in the same legislation. Also, please don't include a definition of water. We know what that is.

[Grays Harbor]

Uhmm... It isn't really a tax; it's for any nations that would be willing to donate for this cause. It's not really a tax...

Wrong. When its in there, its a "tax".

[Panism]

So should I submit this proposal or no? If not, can you guys think of any other ideas that could possibly help me?

[Grays Harbor]

We can think of no valid reason why this proposal should be submitted.

[Quadrimmina]

If it's that much of a point of contention, remove the tax. However, I think you definitely have an interesting proposal. I'd say go ahead with it, but that's just me.

[Panism]

FURTHER DECLARES that the WAWPA is both funded by the General Fund and any other nations that would be willing to support

So, just remove the "and any other nations that would be willing to support" correct?

EDIT: I hope that the defining water portion of the proposal doesn't make it a bad proposal, after all, it's just informing people what I'm using the definition of water for.

[Krioval]

Are you planning to address my points? I should think that you would not submit this proposal at all, but certainly not before our concerns are at least addressed.

We would not recommend holding your breath until such a time as your concerns and questions have been answered. We have noticed an alarming tendency by Panism to ignore those points which dispute their dubious claims.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

DEFINES water as:
A: A clear, odorless, colorless, and tasteless liquid that is the basic necessity for life
B: A molecule that consists of 2 Hydrogen(s)(H) and 1 Oxygen (O), also known as H2O

Honoured ambassador, I cannot see how detailed you need to go about defining water.

Also, even if all of the universe's water were clean there are still going to be areas where water is short. This is where there needs to be a programme to irrigate water to inhabited dry areas.

[Panism]

So if I removed the definition of water, then it's good to go?
I think I removed the vaccination stuff and left everything to a single legislation
Everything should be good to go.

What else do I need to remove?

[Flibbleites]

FURTHER DECLARES that the WAWPA is both funded by the General Fund and any other nations that would be willing to support

So, just remove the "and any other nations that would be willing to support" correct?

I'd drop the entire clause, lest someone claim a HoC violation.

Resolution Name: The Clean Water Resolution

Description: The General Assembly,

SHOCKED that many of the water supplies are contaminated with bacteria, parasites, and infectious diseases[/quote]

Are you only planning on addressing biological contaminants? There are plenty of toxic substances that are not biological - arsenic, lead, other heavy metals, agricultural runoff, industrial runoff, radioactive waste, and so on.

SOME of those diseases would include:
A: gastrointestinal disease
B: bilharzia
C: cholera
D: typhoid
E: Guinea worm disease
F: intestinal worms

Eh. Not bad.

NOTING that water is the "basic necessity for life" and it is needed for survival and is not meant for the consumers to be infected and die

I'd reword this a bit. It reads a bit awkward at the moment, especially the "not meant for the consumers to be infected and die" portion - I cannot think of a single consumable product that is meant to kill its consumers.

ALSO NOTING that there are nations, both WA and regular nations, that may have a low economy and are poor and therefore unable to afford purified drinking water that would suffice the consumers' stomach

Don't refer to non-WA states as "regular nations". Don't refer to them at all, if it's not necessary. Reword "have a low economy and are poor" as "have a weak economy". Strike "that would suffice the consumers' stomach". We get it already.

SHOCKED that if a person does become infected with a disease, it could spread very quickly and would possibly cause a pandemic among that nation and due to the water being water-borne, other nations would be infected as well

Replace "SHOCKED" with "CONCERNED" or something similar. It's not "shocking" that disease spreads. Strike "among that nation and..." portion.

REALIZING that companies, nations, and WA Members dump toxins and radioactive and leaves many inorganic substances into the water

Mention this earlier.

DEFINES toxin as a poisonous substance that was produced by small microorganisms and is highly capable of causing sickness towards a person

See my above comments about toxic substances originating from non-biological sources. The proposal is a bit self-contradictory if it mentions inorganic and radioactive waste but then defines "toxin" as being solely of biological origin.

HEREBY:

FOUNDING the World Assembly Water Purifier Agency (WAWPA) to assist nations that are in need of assistance due to their unclean waters

DECLARES that the WAWPA will create water purification systems to ensure the nations of clean water within their nation

DECLARES that nations unable to place the water purification systems within their nation, the WAWPA can use the funds to hire specialists to purify the water manually

Clean this up a bit. I'd combine the "DECLARES" clauses into a single clause; something like "DECLARES that the WAWPA will create and monitor appropriate services to ensure water purity". It probably needs a bit more work, but start there.

FURTHER DECLARES that the WAWPA is both funded by the General Fund and any other nations that would be willing to support

Strike the entire clause.

DECLARES that there would be a ban on nations dumping toxins into water and those nations would be charged if founded guilty

PROHIBITS the dumping of toxins/toxic materials in any manner that could contaminate water supplies. Or something.

DECLARES that the people who are not infected would be educated on how to prevent and avoid the diseases

MANDATES basic education on water toxicity and waterborne disease prevention. Or something.

Try some of this and see where you get to.

Aleksei-kan Volkov
Imperial Chiefdom of Krioval

[Panism]

Okay guys, I think it's pretty good now, I've added some diseases due to the toxins. Thanks everyone, especially Krioval

[Krioval]

There are a few critiques I'd like to make a little later, when I've had some time to look over this in depth, if possible.

Aleksei-kan Volkov
Imperial Chiefdom of Krioval

[Green Evergreens]

I, Green Evergreens, fully support this resolution in the act of cleaning water.

[Grays Harbor]

No, it is not "good to go". This is one of the most flawed pieces of so-called "legislation" we have seen here in quite some time. It makes grandiose and unsupported pronouncements, creates a new useless committee with a narrow mandate to do what standard domestic water treatment plants do and not much more. No, this is not good to go.

[The Amazing Wasteland]

THIRD DRAFT
SHOCKED that many of the water supplies are contaminated deadly microorganisms:
A: Bacteria
B: Parasites
C: Other infectious diseases

Microorganisms may cause infectious diseases but are not diseases themselves. Replace other infectious diseases with viruses. Needs work elsewhere as others have already mentioned and please continue working on it before you submit it.

[Cancelion]

SHOCKED that if a person does become infected with a disease, it could spread very quickly and would possibly cause a pandemic among that nation and due to the water being water-borne, other nations would be infected as well

I think you mean "...and due to the disease being water-borne, other nations could be infected as well." I'm not sure that has been mentioned.
