"The next world war will be over water"

I dunno if anybody has ever heard that quote before, but it is sound.

"For those of us who can turn on the faucet confident that there will
be steady stream of clean water for bathing, drinking, cooking,
washing dishes, the thought that the world could go dry seems
incomprehensible. But the reality we face is sobering: water --
nature's most essential element -- is becoming dangerously scarce. A
freshwater crisis has already begun that threatens to leave much of
the world dry in the next 20 years, without enough water for a
minimum of life.

Nearly 2.2 billion people in more than 62 countries, one-third of the
world's population, are starved for water. The worst conditions are
in places like Haiti, Gambia, and Cambodia, where residents subsist
on an average of fewer than six liters per day."

And a stupid one. Why don't you delete and insert something funny
 
I have a big problem with polluting standing bodies of water unduly.

However....the water usage thing is over rated.

Martians do not ship used water into outer space. It stays on the planet and eventually gets recycled.

Unlike oil.....we have almost all of the water that we had 100 years ago. If not all of it.
 
Finally, Testboy starts talking some sense.

You must have stopped reading David Icke's site for a couple minutes.

Wow, I'm so glad that we have a person with such knowledge, and so many degrees in ecology and biology as TB, commenting in this thread.

The fact is, you can do as much research as you want, but we are rapidly depleting the earths supply of water. Start concerving today, and maybe your next generation will have a chance.

"Additionally, scientists at Harvard University point out that global warming could significantly harm water availability. A warmer atmosphere could lead to higher rates of evaporation, causing droughts and more severe weather. Faster runoff rates and slower infiltration of groundwater could follow. Warmer water may also promote detrimental algal and microbial blooms, which may lead to more water-borne illnesses. And ironically, as the climate heats up, people will want to use more water for drinking, bathing and watering plants.

“The next world war will be over water,” says Vice President Ismail Serageldin of the World Bank. Even now, some competition is beginning to build between (and within) nations over finite water resources. Egypt has watched warily as Ethiopia has built hundreds of dams on the Nile. Syria and Iraq have squabbled over water projects with Turkey, and some of Israel’s many conflicts with Jordan and the Palestinians have been over water issues. Botswana raised a public outcry after Namibia announced emergency drought plans to divert water from the Okavango River.

Certain regions of the United States, including the Colorado and Rio Grande River Basins, also suffer ominous shortages. Much of the West’s integral agriculture, livestock and recreation industries have been seriously threatened by water scarcity, and the region has endured catastrophic wildfire seasons. At the same time, sprawling development is threatening critical watershed areas throughout the world. Elizabeth Ainsley Campbell, executive director of the Nashua River Watershed Association, warns, “Unless we become more proactive in planning for growth and setting aside open space, our drinking water will be increasingly vulnerable to pollution from fertilizers, insecticides, fuel byproducts and other chemicals associated with commercial and residential development.”

Groundwater is similarly under siege. Over-pumping and rising sea levels have resulted in falling, and saltwater-invaded, water tables. Initial remediation of the 300,000 contaminated groundwater sites in the U.S. will cost up to $1 trillion over the next 30 years, according to the National Research Council.
Water scarcity is also a serious threat to natural ecosystems. “Watersheds with the highest biological value, as measured by the number of endemic bird and fish species, are also generally the most degraded,” says Carmen Revenga of the WRI. “Many biologically rich watersheds—particularly in Southeast Asia and China—also have high population densities, high levels of modified and irrigated land, and high rates of deforestation, especially in tropical areas,” she says. In the U.S., 37 percent of freshwater fish are at risk of extinction, 51 percent of crayfish and 40 percent of amphibians are imperiled or vulnerable, and 67 percent of freshwater mussels are extinct or vulnerable to extinction."

Thats right bitches, we're fuckin up this planet that gave us life.
Now we gotta find a new one, and don't believe that all of our offspring are gonna make it to that new planet.

How do you conserve water anyway? Store it in a bottle?

If you leave it where we get it from it evaporates... or goes to the ocean... I mean water mainly comes from lakes and streams... I haven't noticed the level on the lakes around here going down, nor have the level of the streams gone down...

Seems like there have been more floods lately though...
 
I didn't know you had an advanced degree in anything other than copy/pasting articles and reciting rhetoric.

Water reclamation is becoming big big business. No one is going to war over water in this century.

Gee Code, thank you for your educated prognostication. Within a century or 2, water reclamation could be impossible. We have a strategic oil reserve, but I'd like to know where the strategic water reserve is.

A solution to the energy crisis will solve this issue too as electrolysis purification of seawater will become affordable.

Didn't the creator of the segue create a solar power water purifier?
 
Water is cyclical; it eventually ends up back where we got it from in the first place. The problem is polluting our fresh water supply. If we do something about that, we wouldn't have nearly as big a problem with water.

Why do electrolysis when you can do distillation. Much more effective affordable in terms of materials.

nice. whatever your opinion is on an issue like this, you just can't deny the appeal of an unnecessary, smartass comment made in response to an inoffensive series of statements.

in fact, it's always good to start off down that path as soon as possible, in any thread. i'm proud of you for kicking this debate off the right way.

At least there's a good reason for the next world war. :)
 
Anyone ever wonder how much we would pay in water bills for a day if we left every faucet running the entire day? I think i'll try that tomorrow.
 
I thought global warming is causing the polar ice caps to melt, thus creating a huge amount of extra water???? Which is it??
 
There will never be a world war over water. We can make water, its just expensive. War is much more expensive than making water so that makes no sense. Maybe two poverty stricken third world countries will go to war over water but no world war. I bet in 30 years purifying seawater will be economically feasable.

You may well have been. But it is the people you incessantly deride who would comprise to 'voters'.

So what have you won?

Who cares about Haiti and Cambodia (except Jolie who seem to have a fetish for that country...) ?

It has been duly noted that you engage in the slash and attack mode 2.7% more frequently than I do.


Yea...I get frustrated by the orbs flocking to the juvenile threads about farts and such whilst whilst ignoring more substantive matter.


I really don't belong here but it is habit and I like some of the orbs. Maybe 10 or so. prolly more.
 
there is a bit of a problem of straining the infrastructure to deliver the potable water to the people
southern california for example
one of the reasons to restrict unbridled immigration into this country
the transportation network can't handle it
the power matrix is stressed
 
50,000 years ago -- the earth was 97% water.

2004 -- the earth is still 97% water.

I don't think we got anything to worry about anytime soon. :)
