Fighting over water?

Yes, we have and will continue to fight over water.
I covered OIL in my last posting. Today, I will focus on WATER.

But water cannot disappear like oil after use? True. Water will transform from one form to another. So supply is constant. Great! Then no worry right? WRONG!!!!

Demand for water is increasing at alarming rate.

Where is the growth in demand coming from?
When people become richer - as millions in China are - they tend to eat more meat.

Beef needs about 10 times more water to produce than cereal crops. So more beef we eat --> we need more cattles --> we thus more living things fighting for a drink!!!

Friends, water is important. Period.

P/S - When cattles fart (which they do, like we do), it adds to the ozone depletion.
