  • There is no water problem...the earth is 75% water...we will never run out,all you have to do is take the salt out...cruise ships,the military,and saudi Arabia does it everyday! You can do it at home with a simple solar still....why is this such an issue if we can build desalination plants? Just sayin..

  • @SHEEPLEwhisperer People refuse to access the results of exponential Population growth. This shortage is due entirely to people or better put an exess of people pushing resources such as Water,Energy, Food, Minerals to there limits and our limits ie the current resource wars in Libyia, Afgahnistan, iraq ect.

    We have only two choices, we either come up with a replacement for Oil that has similar characteristics or we depopulate voluntarily or involuntarily through war,famine, civil unrest ect.

  • @32937isready that is incorrect, water is evaporated into space in small quantities over time, and within a few billion years all of earths water will eventually evaporate unless replenished otherwise.

  • @32937isready your forgetting the drinkable amounts,...

  • Yesterday, my 8 yo son gave me the 'solution':

    1. Just melt the polar ice already, and tow those fresh 'ice' to every nation, that'll solve our planet 's fresh water crisis.

    2. Pump any of the extra water to the deserts, and prevent the rise of sea level.

    Hmmm.... what the hell xD

  • @puuepa The issue with desalination is that it requires MASSIVE amounts of energy in order to produce potable water, which means it is remarkably ineffective.  Not to mention the huge quantities of brine produced as a byproduct are frequently leeched back into the water supply, increasing salinity and thereby killing marine life.

  • Im more concerned about oil then water with oil once you use it that's it. they call it peak oil for a reason but peak water?

  • @puuepa I agree, we have these plants, they I hear are expensive to run, but given a high demand we can make it cheaper and mass produce it. I do believe though that this is a real problem for 3rd world countries like africa etc, this is something we can pull through. What scares me more then this is the bee problem due to pesticides from companies like bayer, and monsanto products.

  • desalination is the wave of the future .. ( no pun intended )

  • @buffydog247  ... jewish lightning ?
