"The world's great rivers are drying up at an alarming rate, with devastating consequences for humanity, animals and the future of the planet.
The Independent on Sunday can today reveal that more than half the world's 500 mightiest rivers have been seriously depleted. Some have been reduced to a trickle in what the United Nations will this week warn is a "disaster in the making".
From the Nile to China's Yellow River, some of the world's great water systems are now under such pressure that they often fail to deposit their water in the ocean or are interrupted in the course to the sea, with grave consequences for the planet..."


There are serious consequences for ignorance too.

We are moving into a time of simply living. We are moving into a time that resources are going to be extremely finite and each of us will understand what that means.

Think about water, it is the lifeblood of the planet. And there is only so much of it to go around. If you poison it, then it carries its poison to every part of the being. If you deliberately poison it, then you are a damn fool, because you only poison yourself. There are a lot of corporate industry types out there that know beyond a shadow of a doubt that their manufacturing processes, their run off problems, their leaking pipes problems, their dumping habits all pour massive amounts of toxins into the fresh water supplies of this world. They are polluting the very water that keeps all of us alive, and they know it. They may not think about it, or say it, but they know it. But profit wins over intelligence every time.

The rest of us don't excape notice either. WE are all using too much water and contributing to the poisoning of the entire planet. Would you guys cut it out!
