Lets talk water: The Global Pressures of Population and Access to Clean Water
The Global Pressures of Population and Access to Clean Water: The US Census Bureau’s World Clock says that the population of the world today is estimated at 7.008 billion people, while projections show that the world could reach the 9 billion marker by 2050. In the last of its series called “7 Billion: Conversations That Matter,” Aspen Institute’s Global Health and Development today hosted a panel of experts based in Africa and the United States on the interconnectedness of gender issues, family planning, population and access to safe water.
The point of the series was to ask questions about why it mattered that the world was passing the 7 billion mark, and the questions today in Washington were appropriately big: Will water wars replace oil wars? What are the solutions to expand water and sanitation to the 2.5 billion people who don’t have it? And just how many people can the world support in an equitable fashion?
Freshwater rivers and lakes are subject to seasonal floods and droughts that can limit their availability for people and for agriculture. At present only 5% of arable land is irrigated. Now scientists have for the first time been able to carry out a continent-wide analysis of the water that is hidden under the surface in aquifers. Researchers from the British Geological Survey and University College London (UCL) have mapped in detail the amount and potential yield of this groundwater resource across the continent.
"Where there's greatest ground water storage is in northern Africa, in the large sedimentary basins, in Libya, Algeria and Chad," she said. "The amount of storage in those basins is equivalent to 75m thickness of water across that area - it's a huge amount." Who would have thought? Water, Water, Water — Libya’s Hidden Asset: The Great Man-Made River, as the largest water transport project ever undertaken, has been described as the “eighth wonder of the world”. It carries more than five million cubic metres of water per day across the desert to coastal areas, vastly increasing the amount of arable land. The total cost of the huge project is expected to exceed $25 billion (US).
The Life and Secrets of Water: Experts in the scientific communities as well as homeopathy and holistic sciences have proven the “Memory” of water; the carrying capacity of water for “energy,” and the ability of water to “remember”.
Experts realize that water retains information, even after the most stringent purification and filtration processes. This is termed the energy signature or vibrational imprint. The vibrational imprint of toxins (mercury, lead, chromium, etc.) can be picked up by the water molecule and are in turn passed on to living organisms. As you see from the pictures below, words, thoughts and sounds directly affect the water in your body and all living organisms.
Clean water for the entire world an ambitious goal but thanks to man an impossible endeavor
Water, water everywhere and not enough to drink or use
We will survive however with growing climatic destruction and a growing permanent hungry nomadic world population remember the Movie Soylent Green?
The end result has long been here! Growing worlds water wars

We will adapt or die. Any species reaches a maximum level before a die off and stabilization. That's the natural process so I'm told. It will be sad to see the process once it hits peak. I understand we're not in any better shape with the midwest aquifer or the springs in the southwest.
It all has me thinking about my own water usage. I no longer turn the water on full blast to wash hands and watering a lawn only once a month to prevent total die off. Luckily we don't get much dry weather here even during the summers. But when it does dry out it does so quickly then we have fire dangers.
Yes, some will survive but no where near what most think. Years again after New Orleans and other disasters Bush started telling us we better learn to take care of ourselves and we have. In every disaster if the people did not come together and to the rescue we would be lost.
You realized through everything 2 things are taken care of, the government and the military. When the shit hits the fan they can get together and have the wherewithal to start over! But where?
