[Dumma]

crisis of fresh water will be global crisis this year either flooding or drought. South Africa is running out of water.how about your area

[Mike047]

At present here in the UK we do not have the problem that you are talking about. However, we waste huge amounts of fresh water, that runs into the sewerage system. The various water authorities loose huge amounts of water through leakage, and are slow to repair the system. Although we are encouraged to reuse water where we can, most of us fail to capitalise on the suggestion or fail to realise the benefit of doing so.

Barcelona in Spain has severe water shortages. I think they declared pre-emergency status.

Years ago, it was stated that, in the future, water will be the new oil.

We do not have a water shortage here. At the same time i do not waste water. 
We do not waste Jehovahʼs gifts.

This world is out of balance, as it wobbles and disintegrates towards its end.
Water is one of many serious issues. Currently in this country, we have both extremes - floods up north, and fires down south.

How much do you pay for a bottle of water, and compare that to look at how much you pay for a gallon of petrol?

 

Here in Australia we use litres and this a price comparison. If you went into petrol station and bought a 1litre bottle of water and a litre of petrol, this is what you are paying:

 

One litre of water is $2.50

 

 

 

 

One litre of 91 RON petrol is $1.96
