Climate Change Concerns: PT 3 “Water, water everywhere?”

Without a doubt, I say “water, water is not everywhere” and our demands are growing from all quarters.

A growing population is an irresistible force upon a finite resource. As is agriculture, energy development and use, sanitation needs, our thirst for recreation, cooking requirements, and more.


Many topics related to water conservation will be discussed: A reduced population. Rationing. 90 second showers. Composting toilets. Meatless meals. Smaller food portions. Smaller homes, furnishings, appliances. Reduced spending on all goods. Bottled water bans. Fossil fuel reductions. Oilsands withdrawal. Swimming pool closures. Rain water for gardens. “No Golf” Days. Etcetera. (No stone will be left unturned.)

Some attempts at conservation will be made. I predict, however, almost all will be touched by crisis.

Drink up?
