"Water Crisis - A Solution.wmv",, a new hand pump to make clean water

We need to increase our efforts in maximizing desalination and the harvesting of water from condensation plants. These are not answers but will help at least may bring some minor relief.

….and yes we need reduction in population. Educate about zero to no population growth. Not with force but education. I believe the best in humans, with education & understanding most would elect to Negative or Zero population control.

Stop having kids? That's like telling 8 million Americans to stop playing WoW. Where one activity is stunted, others grow. China simply chooses to divulge in both. What else would people do in poor countries? Admire their rugs?

[oscie1]

People in poor countries need to stop having 10 to 15 kids.THEY ARE FUCKING RETARDED

[tayzhian]

Dont say it as killing. It is only reducing the population.

@X1REME prepschoolkid didn't mean that everyone doesn't deserve water, they meant that with the global population is growing so much that the world cannot support us all. I don't mean we should go kill off people, but sickness, death, and birth control are there for a reason. I'm not saying that medicine is bad or we should all never have kids, but that we should try to teach people about birth control.

[prepschoolkid]

@X1REME Yes I agree that everybody has a right to water, the fact of the matter is our explosive population growth is putting a strain on water resources. Water is only an infinite resource if used in a sustainable way. The Western US is facing water shortages, due to groundwater depletion and irrigation schemes and etc. The Colorado river is a trickle by the time it reaches Mexico. The Earth has a carrying capacity, we can't support infinite numbers of humans.....

You can't put masssive pipe lines to places that don't have water

[prepschoolkid]

We must bring population growth under control! The human population nearly doubled between Now and the 1960s! Our Planet has a limit to how much it can support!

I can fix the problem... PUT A 5 MINUTE TIMER ON SHOWERS FOR ALL THE TEENAGE KIDS WHO TAKE HOUR LONG SHOWERS.

[mikejp2008]

Wow I wonder why we can't prioritize essentials for basic life. How can we sell water this should be maintained and provided to all people by government. This should be in the same category as protection from terrorism.

[TheUtubeY]

Wow!This is so interesting!I feel from my heart, that we should put a stop to this!!

Its horrifying DRAMA!!!!

it all comes back to money. the human race has the technology to save itself but, oddly enough - not the humanity.
