World News reports a water shortage by 2050 due in part by global warming

The earth is made up of 71% water . Always has been , always will be ..............where's the shortage ? Where does it go ?

i drink a lot of kool aid but not that much.

I hide som of it under my boat for a rainy day. Don't tell anyone.

Held up in bladders of humans. It's not like theyre really trying to hold it, but collectively if everyone didn't pee for 2 hours when they felt like they had to everyone would turn bedouin by the next nightfall. I read it nat'l geographic.

Plus human bladder's have increased 13% since 1937 when they started measuring.

I'm guessing they are saying either an ice age or all in the ocean. Both would be cost prohibitive to turn into drinking water.

It's a shortage of safe drinking water. It's becoming more scare everyday. Even in our own country. Wars over oil are going to seem like a day at the park when we start fighting over drinking water.

Only 2% of the water in the world is safe to drink.

I got my own well so I'm good.

Start? There have been fights over water for ages. Though in the US its been largely political and litigious battles.

In Michigan there is a big bottling Co. that put in real deep wells and is pulling water from so far away that it is drying up private wells.

The big problem is that people live in areas that can't support people and then produce more people to spread the resources thinner.

The water never really is gone. It just changes locations.

Just like when you flush the toilet, or run the tap at the sink.

Its sent outand recycled. Still here.

X2 , the amount of water on earth will never change . By design , the good Lord knew what he was doing

This is ONE of 2 springs on the farm. Lab testing shows no heavy metals and a 7.0 PH. Unfortunately, 600 yards down hill from this springs overflow, the water runs into a polluted stream.

Bic you could get rich bottling that !

We tried to measure the flow one time by filling up a 55 gallon barrel and timing it. As best we could figure it runs about 90 gallon per minute. The volume is pretty consistent year round. I would like to figure out a use for all this water to supplement my income but haven't figured out anything yet.

I had a buddy that sold water to Coca-cola outta Harrisburg years ago when this bottled water thing just started. I honestly forget how much they paid.
They would show up with a tanker truck and suck it out of a spring he had dug. 10,000 gal. at a time.

excavator and some fry and your an instant trout farmer.

I was gonna say 50 gal a minute at least, I drilled a couple Wells in NY that produced 125 gallon per min or more, I would use 5 gal bucket to measure amount
