Is Water the Next Oil? - a photo on Flickriver

THE APOCALYPTIC FUTURE..
Not so distant future
~
disputes over water have the potential to trigger armed conflicts, particularly in more arid areas of the world such as Africa and the Middle East. A three-year drought in South Africa prompted a water crisis earlier this year
~
Over the next ten years, if we do not come together to find answers to our water shortage, we will face major supply-related issues around the globe, not just with drinking water – our industries will be affected as well.
~
The oil crisis confronting the world today is much like the looming crisis in water, with depleting supplies, unequal distribution and access, and the inevitable specter of rising costs and increasing conflict around the sharing of this vital natural resource. As with oil, water exploitation raises an inter-generational debt that will be hard to repay. The uncontrolled and rapacious exploitation of oil has led to unintended consequences, and if we continue on a similar trajectory with water, the oil crisis will seem like the trailer of some horrible disaster movie.
