How would "people allocating water" write this essay?

As a person who has to the make the decisions about how to allocate water, I have a very different perspective than others who just want to conserve water. In order to allocate water correctly you must consider the deep ethical questions that go along with each aspect of the water process. The decisions I have to make concerns everyone in the world. Everyone needs a certain amount of water to survive, but most want way more than that. When everyone is always in your face about how much water they or their industry are being supplied, it makes it a lot harder than you think to decide who will receive water. It is one thing to understand that we are running out of water, but to tell someone they can not have the water they can pay for is very different. It takes a full understanding of the water we currently do not have to acctept this fact. Most people do not have this understanding or anything close to it. Although I understand where these people are coming from, ultimately we must look at the true ethics involving water allocation and do what is just for our whole world.
