We can survive without oil. We can’t survive without drinking water.

Potable water supplies are growing smaller and it is increasingly likely

that we will have massive conflicts over drinking water at some point in the

not too distant future.  Already, there are severe droughts in the Atlanta area and others across

the U.S. Yet what attention do we see at a national level to addressing this problem, and

to figuring out how to make it rain in places that are suffering severe droughts?

Perhaps rather than competing to see who can be the poster-boy (or girl) for change,

our presidential candidates should worry about increasing the supply of potable water.
