While Iran is the current focus, the next great war will be fought over water.

Add to that that hydrofracking permanently removes water from a closed cycle system and we are slowly killing the planet.

We've got to stop wasting water. We take it for granted and feel like it is an in-exhaustable resourse. You turn on the facet and there it is. So don't let it run while you brush your teeth, or shave. I see so many people letting it run and run. Conserving could also help with your water bill. We are in water rationing here in Texas and are not likely to get off it. Aside from the waste, is all the pollution we dump into our water system. Before very long we will all be feeling the effects of LACK OF WATER. Already many many people worldwide are without good clean water. It's time to become more aware and to care!

It's more than a little concerning, isn't it? thanks for posting.

There is not an over abundance of safe, clean water - and the sources that do exist are being destroyed daily ..just breaks my heart

Oh my... O-o

"On any given day we’re likely wearing more than 15,000 liters (~4,000 gallons) worth of water. And if we slip on a pair of leather loafers, well, add another 8,000 liters (~2,100 gallons). It takes a lot of water to grow the grain to feed the cow whose skin is turned into shoes."

When the freshwater is gone, what are we going to drink?

Sunday February 26, 2012, 8:03 am
Soon we don't have pure water to drink. I ask how many countries have to use bottled water?

We have too much stuff. We buy too much stuff. We throe things away and buy new. This takes much water. Way too much water. When it takes 713 gallons to make a cotton shirt and 2600 gallons to make a pair of blue jeans we need to stop being such a "throw away" people.
Recycling is what we do when we're out of options to avoid, repair, or reuse the product first.

i want las vegas and all the other desert live to go back to just that..we've emptied enough rivers, and fresh lakes to keep these deserts alive...stop letting the military spray and scatter and scare us by allowing them to POISON water supplies to keep "real life" away from the lands they have taken..we don't need to continue this way...start looking for the salution..stop removeing water where it's from..bring life to it's original movement..deal with what you allow in your communities and the neighborhoods you choose to survive in...

Much more sensitive and careful water management practices are going to be needed - especially recycling of treated waste water.

water will one day be the most valuable substance on earth...can't live without it....which is one reason we've spent so much time and energy trying to find evidence of it on the moon and Mars...(in case,we want to go).....too many in this country and the west, don't stop and think about this amazing and potentially priceless substance......
