In every corner of the globe, we are polluting, diverting, pumping, and wasting our limited supply of fresh water at an expediential level as population and technology grows.
The rampant overdevelopment of agriculture, housing and industry increase the demands for fresh water well beyond the finite supply, resulting in the desertification of the earth.
Corporate giants force developing countries to privatize their water supply for profit.
Wall Street investors target desalination and mass bulk water export schemes. Corrupt governments use water for economic and political gain.
Military control of water emerges and a new geopolitical map and power structure forms, setting the stage for world water wars.
This Documentary should cause each and everyone who is really concern to do a real self examination.
english class lmao
When the Rain Stops Falling has been removed from here and DW. Why is that?
I must inquire re: industrial hemp desalinated and purifies water and nuclear waste! Let's just see about that and another thing.... Think about your children or just "the children" because between 2000 - 2003 over 700.000, under age 5, died per year in Sub Sahara Africa. So Asia = 683,000 or 2000/day. UN is aware and leaves it up to our States democracy or our local government. Think it best we first look at our local government to lead us to water so we can drink. Water, of course, is a basic human need, one which we are supposed to be guaranteed. This is what the United Nations said in their last report and ain't them the big guys?
Industrial Hemp desalinated and purifies water. It even cleans nuclear waste as seen in Chernobyl.
Very nice film a must watch to be aware of what's happening outside. really eye opening guys.
A good film and definitely worthwhile to watch it.
The world is becoming over populated....PERIOD! More being born that dying. Let's say we start with my statement. Now, what do you propose we do about that? When there is a solution to that, we can then get a handle on our water issues.
If you don't secure your own sources for water, food, energy within the next decade, prepare to be a ward of the State/Feds aka Corps.
I can gather a lot of hard work has gone in to it. It’s actually good.
This is why I'm getting my masters in Hydrology.

There is enough on this planet fore everyone, but never enough fore the greet of one man.
silver iodide = chemtrails
Read the book many years ago, alarming ... and agree with Bob, air will be next. Question is: what can we do about it, how can we change this? On a micro scale, I refuse to buy or drink bottled water, but ... how can we make people aware of this? As companies and governments divide their citizens more and more instead of uniting them. The true criminals are the ones that are in charge ... and they get away with it all the time!
air will be next
Everything seems to be based on profit....nothing new, right!
Please take the time to watch......have a nice glass of Kangen water :-)

Sam Bozo...good name
I smell anarchy in the near future! The intentional wastefulness of water resulting in forced desalination, all in the name of profit.
I smell anarchy in the near future.
And America is insane: first they choose their government, and then they don't trust them.
Someone call a shrink.
People heading for extinction even more rapidly.
Good news for anti-natalists.
Huh, could we plant trees and use the desalinated water to jump start the process towards mending? Could we do that using Al-Gathafi's Great Man Made River as a model?
The problem of using the desalination is that you have to usee 5 liters of slat water to produce 1 liter of fresh water. So we will still be creating a new problem
@Farren; Looked it up today. I found that most desalnation plants are of the "reverse osmosis" variety. In which the water is pressurized and forced through a dense filtration that removes 99% of the salt making potable water. The energy use there is greater since one has to utilize pumps to force the water. The other type which is used more in the Middle East and North Africa is an evaporation type. The best of those utilize the excess heat generated by the power plants to heat salt water to a boil and collects the vapor. Since power plants are already being used in their typical function the only cost here is initial outfitting and maintenance of the evaporation chambers. That process uses no dedicated energy source of its own. However even the Reverse osmosis type sets its overhead at about $3.00 per 1000 gallons of water produced so is fairly eco friendly.
Having read all of that I stand by my assessment that the "we are running out of water" theory is bunk. The tech is there, it is being used with success, and it is economical. So go ahead people take a nice hot shower.
