"NEW WORLD WATER" Part Deux

Since that dreadful evening with my son where i made him cry, we have been talking about this whole water issue and how, rather than worry about something one has very little control over, to take action over what you do control - your own use. 

We also pledged to learn more about the water cycle and water conservation in order to better educate ourselves and others about what is going on in the world.  In that spirit, Tre went straight to the heart of his concern last night and googled "Are we going to run out of water?"  I cringed.

This is the article that came up from the National Geographic titled Are We Running out of Water?

In summary, the glass half full answer is "no."  Since water is cyclical in nature, we have as much water on the planet NOW as we did when the first signs of life appeared on the planet.  However, the issue is that "water is not distributed evenly across the globe and our needs for that water aren't the same everywhere."

Setting aside the whole host of issues that arise from inequitable distribution of/needs for water, the Sun went to bed quite happy that his glass is indeed half full and we will not be running out of water. 

Next up:  the idea of grey water and how we can begin to utilize this in our own lives.
