Donninator1, atmospheric water generators require high relative humidity.

China and India have over 10x our population in the same or smaller geographical space. It's not individual consumption that's the problem, but golf courses and lawns and factory corn farming in the desert Southwest. Most of the country has plenty of water. Here in PA, we've had above-average rainfall and flooding for a few years now. The solution is to allow supply and demand to work without government interference. The price will rise and nonessential uses will go away.

just get a atmospheric water generator..

there is no more reason for water shortage.. so it's just stupidity on the individuals part..

THIS TECHNOLOGY IS FOR SALE

Then Hmmm (this is sarcasm) why do we not... REMOVE the illegals then? Yeah thats it! Lets get rid of those who should not be here and are here illegally! Let us shut off water to those who are not supposed to have it in the first place!

Yes I know about illegals (this is not sarcasm) however they are meaningless to me and are not Americans thus are not counted. They are a bunch of RATS that need to be REMOVED from the USA because they are DESTROYING the USA.

add 40 million illegals time 1000 gallons a day

do the math

the main aqua firs are at dangerous level in America and are going down faster than it can be refilled.

thanks for this share; as a water guy, I understand the importance of water re-use. Drink & Wash, Food Grow, Gray-water, Food Grow, Black-water Landscape grow.

I know at least 5 farmers this year, that have left dirt & moved over to Aquaponics using their natural fish ponds, for this very reason. I feel bad, we are talking, huge amounts of Rubber Vinyl plastic and DOW products but you've got to collect store, pipe and re-use water to re-coup the costs. Last year plain Hay was 8$US a Lg. bail

Canada has the most water in the world

but you can't buy a drop,our govt. says it is the only thing they won't sell.

I myself have a well of the purest water in the world ,comes out of the tap at 40 degrees

I can't even sell the water on my land I'd be a billionaire if I could.

USA is NOT overpopulated what so ever.

[dave777blaster]

USA is over populated by 150 million at least

poor planning and waste of resources

have contributed.
