A World Without Water 7/8

Every day 300,000 children die due to lack of water and poor sanitation. Billions of people do not have access to safe water. Environmental change threatens to make this situation worse but a more immediate danger is emerging. Control of the world's water is falling into the hands of the rich and water may soon take the place of oil as the world's most trade able - and coveted - commodity - not a basic human right. In a future when market forces set the price of a glass of water, will many more people will be left too poor to drink?

wow i just don't realize how lucky i have been to have water at home many taps and 2 outside the house i grew up in and cost was next to nothing. Its a bit more expensive now. But when i was young every building every sports field, every park had taps now there all locked off but there are still some public ones around. But in australia we have not prepared enough we go from draught to flood we need to gather more during the floods and the top of australia is monsoonal and should be collected.
