The humans on Planet Earth have a serious water situation and this problem is growing.
Consider if you will that the total Global Economic output is roughly 65 trillion dollars.
Well, right now we need about 3 times that much to upgrade our global water infrastructures.
Worried yet? You should be and realize no one is immune.
Perhaps, living in a desert resort city, I see the issues more readily? Nevertheless, it really does not matter where you live, everyone must deal with these issues.
Even if you live in an area of abundant water supply, you still must be wise about the infrastructure that brings this water to you.
There are dams, pipelines, wells, and all sorts of infrastructure that's needed to guarantee a proper supply of fresh water, and of course you and your family, community and region must have water to survive, grow crops and maintain proper hygiene.
Water is everyone's problem and indeed, it may be the biggest challenge of our time.
When human populations surge, the demand for water can skyrocket and that means any small disruption in the supply causes chaos.
Even a small short-term drought of a couple of years could cause the taps to run completely dry.
Think it cannot happen? It already has in some areas and as things continue it will become a common occurrence, one which we have no choice but dealing with head on.
Human life depends on fresh water supplies.
It's time to start planning ahead, it's time to get our ducks in a row and it is imperative that we begin to invest heavily on shoring up these future issues of water crisis.
