For some of us, it seems hard to believe that fresh clean drinking water is precious and in short supply. This morning, I awoke to a thick layer of dew wetting the ground and fogging up my car’s windows. The mist was so heavy that I couldn’t see one hundred meters ahead of me. I drove over our local river, so gorged it filled it’s banks with white froth, and just last week I went fishing far out on Lake Ontario, rolling waves five feet high and nothing but water to be seen in the distance.
Yet, water is our most precious resource. We cannot survive without fresh clean water daily and for the majority of the world, this is a very hard thing to come by.
Looking at our planet from space, it is so full of water it is blue. But let us put things in perspective. If all the worlds water could fit into a two liter soda bottle, only a teaspoon of that is actual fresh water. And of that, only a drop of that water is readily available to the human population.
If you are reading this now, you have an internet connection and it is very likely that you live in first world conditions, so I’d like to put things further into perspective. Many of you who are already concious of water conservation have installed low flow toilets in your house. Indeed, many local, state and federal laws prohibit the manufacture of anything but. One flush of a low flow toilet takes six litres of water, which is four and a half more liters than the daily average that most African people use.
And water is drying up all over the world. We are using it faster than nature can replenish the resources, at an alarming rate. Even in places like where I live, with a seemingly inexhaustible supply.
