EY “bonk” you sounds like “SMART ASS” who’s taking 1/2 hour showers to wash off all your sheet coming off your body.WE AS AMERICANS HAVE TO REDUCE THE ABUSE OF WATER CONSUMPTION MORE THAN 1/2 THAT’S ALL.

people need to wake up and do something before its to late and kids who are young will have to deal with it. also what has Barack Obama done about this he needs to step up and tell every one to start recycle because nothing is going to be done and people wont do anything. i bet Barack Obama doesnt even recycle so people thinks hes the best well he needs to do something then i will think hes the best.

I think there should be more effort to make sure there are proper water and food supplies to third-world countries. Imagine your own life in 110 degree weather, working all day in the sun, and then drinking water that you know will kill you eventually, or not drinking water at all.

Canada is the Saudi Arabia of fresh, drinkable water. Whether or not to sell any to other countries has been the subject of serious national debate for the past few years. Of course, with how the U.S.A. and Russia have been invading the Canadian Arctic in the past year, Canada may just wind up being robbed of her fresh water.

They claim there is no shortages in the Southwest.

If you really care about water, then don’t eat meat. Compared to a steak dinner, a vegetarian meal saves about as much water as a whole YEAR of showers.

There is no water crisis, just an energy crisis. Singapore, Perth, and other major cities globally are using reverse osmosis on an industrial scale, combined with water recycling, to maintain water independence. (Google for Hyflux.) American cities are stuck in the 20th century due to political intransigence. No wonder they can’t solve their water problems. Admittedly, the problem with drinking water recycling is that it takes tremendous amounts of energy. (Agricultural recycling might be cheaper. We should all just produce water at home, from the air.) Globally, the solution for the next few decades will probably be the use of natural gas to power reverse osmosis plants, substantially adding to CO2 emissions. But with global warming inevitable anyway, because most people refuse to change their behavior, at least we can address the water crisis.

As to those cities without the money or discipline to implement water filtration, they’re screwed. Civil chaos will result when the water runs out. It’s tragic, but that’s the effect of runaway population, pollution, and corruption with zero civic responsibility.

This might be a scam. I simply don’t buy it.
Co2 is bad. so breath less. Now h2o is bad, use less of it. If you don’t we will tax the crap out of you. why people keep falling for this kind of game.

Can some one please tell me why any one trusts the major media as a source for ANY information? They’re clearly propagandists and have been for decades. It’s irrational to use them as a source for information any more. This 140 gallons per person is absolute nonsense and more propaganda to make those in the US sound like complete waste mongers. Considering that more than half of China is full of slave laborers and the ratio of peons/slaves to middle class is much higher over there than in the US, is it any wonder that their estimates would average out to be so low? It sounds like, by the logic of this article, that people with a higher standard of living need to suck it up and become stinking peons again. The authors certainly weren’t promoting that the stinking peons get a good bath once a day (good hygiene reduces DISEASE).

Water is the secondary goal of the Sino-Soviet-Islamic Confederation. The primary goal is the n.American food basket. When they physically occupy n.America they receive as bonus 10% of Earth’s fresh water in the guise of the Great Lakes.

i thought our sainted local politicansa already sold all the productive water systems to foreign corporations with tax incentives to let the “poor” bleed the public into hell…..and only took penies in kickbacks

This is more scare tactics. The earth will never run out of water. It may take some creativity to get it where it is needed but water does not disapear. It evaporates then comes back in rain. Has anyone watched the news in the last few months, First there was flooding in Nashville Now in Idaho and Iowa from huge storms which are moving into the gulf then up through Alabama and Georgia. The water always comes back.

I have been collecting water in a 55 gallon drum off my roof for years for irrigation of my garden in my suburban home. My neighbors laugh at me. I cut off the downspout and place the drum under it. You would be amazed how much water is collected by the average roof. My neighbors clean their driveways with their hose instead of a broom….what wasteful suburban ******bags.

1.Put whiteroofs.
Whiteroofs reduce Airconditioning requirements, reverse global warming and climate change problems,reduces evaporation losses nearby.

2. Plant more trees.
3. Create water bodies(ponds,Lakes) and protect them.
4. Collect rainwater and use them.

Do the above things along with reduction in the consumption of water and energy.

@ Pappy

Nor will the weaklings our society give up the air conditioning, which is one reason why our water crisis is escalating. Too many people complain that their heart conditions require that they stay cool. They even have to run the AC in their cars, too. We have a lot of obese people who can not handle the seering heat and all of these folks will be up **** creek with =out a paddle when the water crisis starts.

One problem will be the current comfort level of someof our countrymen will prohibit the adaptation of inconvenient solutions. Many a princess would rather die of thirst than use baled out bathwater to flush her toilet or stoop to cooking with rainwater. Maybe there will be employment opportunities as bathwater balers or rainwater fetchers.

Water: the most abundant resource on the planet. Who’d have thought I’d have to pay $1.00 for a container of it?
