Wikipedia Article Rationale
The article my group is editing is titled Water Footprint. This article is related to the sustainable development goal (SDG) number 6, which is about ensuring "availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all." We chose this is because the article can contribute to the ideas proposed by the High-Level Panel on Water within the document “Making Every Drop Count.” This panel consists of eleven heads of State and Government and one Special Adviser, they created the document to address the SDG number 6. The document presents shocking data such as "785 million people still lacked even a basic drinking water service," which accurately portrays the current water crisis to the people. By showing the data about the water crisis, the reading emphasized the value of water, which is one of their objectives relating to solving the water crisis.

The appreciation or value of water can be in the information about the Water Footprint because the term "shows the extent of water use in relation to consumption by (...) an individual, community or business is defined as the total volume of freshwater used to produce the goods and services consumed by the individual or community or produced by the business" (Wikipedia). Thus if people are aware of the close connection with water resources and the products we consume, we can value water and take actions to solve the water crisis from our homes and we can share it with more people.

“Water Footprint” is a good article to choose to edit because there are some parts that can be better organized as well as improved upon. For instance, in the introduction of the article, it mentions that the water footprint is presented in the domestic, agricultural and industrial sectors. However, in the content, there is no specification about it. There is information in the article that can be put under the tile of the domestic, agricultural and industrial sectors. If organized that way, it is more clear for the reader to identify where the aforementioned water footprint is. The article contains a perfect balance of relating to our initial subject matter, SD6, but also need for further development and editing.
