Drought Water Security. Globally Emergency and Disaster in the Making.
2% of the worlds water supply available for human consumption.
For the second decade of the 21st Century a global water supply issue is spreading due environmental issues, over population, and man's never ending need for more land, more construction, and the ever present assumption that the Earth and all its' resources are here for our consumption.
Drought, and water issues in urban and rural communities will continue. The old approach of "its not affecting me where I live" is not a valid reason for not being getting actively involved worldwide in this issue that affects us all locally and globally. Flint, Michigan, Cape Town, and other major cities are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of water issues that should be of everyones concern.
Get involved locally, regionally, and nationally in water security issues before it reaches your front door.
