Water the ultimate everything

I could accumulate all the quotes and worrying snippets I’ve seen over the past few weeks here about water scarcity, pollution, or misuse. But that would defeat the simple point I want to ring through. One will suffice

“Without water, nothing happens” this was in the Time and said by a farmer referring to the extended dryness in the American farm belt

It could just as easily apply universally to all human activity. Our bodies are, after all, 70% water. In Iowa, the larger piece of arable land in the WORLD, ill-advised and mass farming techniques have polluted the ground water. In Colorado, Oil and Gas companies, with federal dollars padding their pockets, outbid farmers for water rights.

The food and energy problem will come to ahead in our lifetime, and water will be the big issue.

A start would be requiring Agricultural supply and Energy companies to take responsibility for their effect on groundwater. They’ve more than enough economic profit to protect and restore our water supplies.
