I read a article about the water shortage the other day. They are linking it to global warming.
I think everyone should conserve water to a point. Buying a rain barrel to collect the rain water is a great way of collecting water during rain storms. A few of these barrels stored in a basement can be a easy way to have a much needed supply should you run real low on water.
The world needs to rethink the value of water. New research highlights the accelerating pressure on measuring, monitoring and managing water locally and globally. A new four-part framework is proposed to value water for sustainable development to guide better policy and practice. Source 2h.
By 2050 the value of water will be more than gold and oil. I feel that unless we come up with really cheap ways of extracting water from the sea then we could see a very different society than what we see today.
