If peak oil scares you, what about peak water?

Posted by Matt in April 30th, 2008

That the news is familiar makes it no less alarming: 1.1 billion people, about one-sixth of the world’s population, lack access to safe drinking water. Aquifers under Beijing, Delhi, Bangkok, and dozens of other rapidly growing urban areas are drying up. The rivers Ganges, Jordan, Nile, and Yangtze — all dwindle to a trickle for much of the year. In the former Soviet Union, the Aral Sea has shrunk to a quarter of its former size, leaving behind a salt-crusted waste.

Water has been a serious issue in the developing world for so long that dire reports of shortages in Cairo or Karachi barely register. But the scarcity of freshwater is no longer a problem restricted to poor countries. Shortages are reaching crisis proportions in even the most highly developed regions, and they’re quickly becoming commonplace in our own backyard, from the bleached-white bathtub ring around the Southwest’s half-empty Lake Mead to the parched state of Georgia, where the governor prays for rain. Crops are collapsing, groundwater is disappearing, rivers are failing to reach the sea. Call it peak water, the point at which the renewable supply is forever outstripped by unquenchable demand.

Lagat ends U.S. drought with 1,500 win
Bernard Lagat became the first American man to win a global 1,500-meter title in 99 years when he swept to victory down the home straight at the world championships on Wednesday. The Kenyan-born 32-year-old only qualified to run for his adopted country last year but his finish in three minutes 34.77 seconds was enough to a break an American drought stretching back to the 1908 Olympics.

Faces of America by Dan Fogelberg
Another timely song by Dan... Faces Of America There was a time, a simpler time When a man could be sure of where he stood I used to work at the yard, working honest and hard The hours were long but the pay was good I had a family and friends, oh so many friends We'd drive to the lake on holidays Back then it wasn't so dear for a sandwich or beer At night I still dream I can see their faces Certain things that you depend upon There are places that you know And the faces of America Oh, where do they go, where did they go I was born on a farm, a midwestern farm I rode on the tractor with my dad And though we never had much it was always enough And we made the best with what we had But then came four years of drought and the bottom dropped out My father was broken like...

Manna Fest 393 Drought Breakers End-Time Rain Makers 3 of 3
Perry talks in Israel with his tour group. He is at Mount Carmel which is the same spot where Elijah called down the fire and the rain. This deals specifically with the church's in North America. There are two things missing in the church. He shows us today how you break a drought in the spiritual realm. He tells us about the time Elijah called a drought or a famine to hit the land. Then he also talks about when Elijah showed the false prophets of Baal the burning of the sacrifice. Then he talks about how the church can become spiritually dry which can cause self inflicted sickness. He talks how Elijah prayed 7 times before he prophesied the rain coming. He relates that to the church and prophetic people. Next Perry us the pattern of the bible In producing spiritual rain. He tells us why...

Russian JetSeaplanes US Needs to Patrol FireFight dynmicpara
The "non-existant" global warming that is causing the "seasonal" wildfires all over the "phony" drought-stricken areas of America demand LARGE effective firefighting JET aircraft that can scoop up massive amounts of water from nearby lakes/reservoirs and then fly very fast 400+ mph to drop onto fires to smother them quickly and completely. American technosnobbery manifests itself when the FACTS that the Russians have better jet-powered seaplanes that can do this job and we should buy them instead of subsidizing WW2 flying clubs that drop handfuls of water at a time--when their wings are not falling off. http://www.combatreform2.com/p6mseamaster.htm This also applies to the Not Invented Here Syndrome (NIHS) that flares up when we need effective, long-range military ASW, ASuW and...

THE US Economy is Collapsing
#1. The United States government is currently running a budget deficit of $1.8 billion/day. Too much deficit will create a weaker American dollar and cripple the US economy. #2. The US National Debt is $8 trillion+. It has to be paid back eventually by raising taxes. #3. Oil prices are $100+ per crude barrel, there is a shortage of oil refineries and demand is growing due to more car drivers world wide. #4. China's economy is now bigger than the United States and China is now the centre of the global economy. #5. China's trade exports out-matches the United States (ie. they can build cars/trucks/SUVs for half the price). #6. English is becoming less important as an international business language. Mandarin Chinese is becoming more important. #7. Global warming is causing drought and...
