water drought issue willl not end

In the past few weeks we been getting a little animals rain now and then, which is great for Texas because the drought issue is not getting any better, so wee need as much rain as possible.  The Drought situation just degenerates. The wildlife are dying of thirst,  and once that happens animals start dieing, ranchers start going out of business because theirs no animals to cattle and once that happens markets and restaurants get no food to serve, then the people have not enough food so prizes on food gets expensive and then our economy worsens. Everything is like a long chain, once something goes wrong it effects the whole chain and everything goes wrong.
In the Texas Tribune the article Freshwater Threatens Matagorda Bay, talks about how the drought is effecting the Bay, one main issue is wildlife is decressing in the bay because theirs not enough fresh water, so the animals living there are needing middle ground to have balanced fresh water and salt water but cant because of the drought. Then when theirs no fishes, oysters, crabs, and so on the fishers start loosing business because markets depend on them. 
Ways to  help prevent the drought is for more rain to occure and that just out of our hands, so all we can do is wish for it. Another ways is lessen our water usage, and the smallest things can make a difference. Such as little things like using less water when showering, washing our cars less, watering our garden less, if we all try doing these small things it can really help with the drought and help clear away the problems that are forming.

In Ms. Ali's post she talks about the current and future effects of the drought that Texas is currently going through. She also touches on the possible ways in which the state of Texas could alleviate the effects of the drought . Overall I agree with Ms. Ali, but I also believe there are certain things she could have done to make her argument stronger.
Her spelling and grammar errors distracted me somewhat from the point of her post. If you want your opinion to be taken seriously, care should be taken to proper grammar and spelling.
When she spoke of the domino effect of the drought, it came across as overly dramatic. Though those things could potentially happen, it wasn't necessary. It would of helped her point to approach it more logically and to propose actions that could help with the issues we are facing now instead of ragging on the worst case scenario.
I did think her focus on resolutions near the end of her post was a good place to end on. Rather then just ranting about the drought issue, she presented feasible ways in which we as Texas residents can help preserve the water that we have. It's important to take an pro-active stance on dealing with natural resource issues.
