What if there was enough fresh water in the world for eight billion people? What if we did not have to worry about water shortages? What if drought cycles did not hit areas so hard causing devastation to crops and regions where water supplies were already tight? What if we had more running surface fresh water? What if we could desalinate water cheaper and build the infrastructures quickly? What if people would limit their procreation innate tendencies and only have one or two children? What on God’s green Earth are we going to do in 2050 when the population predictions are 60 Billion or so? Who is going to make sure everyone has water? How are we going to make sure we have water? Who is going to pay for all the dams needed, desalination plants and weather control research needed to prevent this potential eventuality and crisis?
Already we are at a crisis and
it is only going to get worse as the demand on the current water supplies grows greater. Currently in Asia, Africa, China, Eastern Europe and Australia the crisis is almost to much to bare. Some 3 Billion people are in crisis of water supplies currently and even in the Western United States, Mid West and Southern States we are not even without worry. In fact we face severe issues too. Sure we can conserve, build infrastructures and re-shape the way we deliver water to our civilization, yet, we are certainly not without our own problems here at home. What if we could solve all these problems, should we spend the money to do it, before it gets any worse both here at home and abroad? Think on this.
