Make that millenia, with clockwork precision. Now can we please move on to WATER SHORTAGES LEADING TO GLOBAL FEMINE AND CIVIL WAR IF WE DO NOT ACT RIGHT NOW

We all remember from school the picture below of the water cycle, we used to think the cycle could continually renew itself so it was impossible to use up the water.



Now we know it's possible to use the water faster than it is renewed into the cycle, if we add in some industrial conversion of water into various products chuck in a bit of pollution and we end up locking more out of the cycle. The problem can be solved if we reduce the rate of increase thereby giving mother nature time to catch up with our consumption.

consumption huh, mother forgive me

See? Water shortages, it's the latest. The global warming hoax has outstayed it's welcome, now we get to be absolutely terrified about water shortages. IF WE DO NOT ACT RIGHT NOW

I am talking about consumption from a technical engineering viewpoint Frag your taking the view this is some kind of green conspiracy.

Global warming does not affect the amount of water on the planet, what does affect how much we get is the amount we take out of the cycle and for how long it is locked out of it.

If I go and make a concrete block that water is to all intents and purposes removed forever from the water cycle.

We tend to waste a lot of water so correct pricing of our water and investment will easily repair this problem, however were not likely to do this are we cos it's a green conspiracy right.

It's not a conspiracy it's a religion

It doesn't matter if the greenies are right or wrong on global warming Frag the problem with the "Water Crisis" is separate from it.

Were increasing our depletion of natural water stores beyond the rate of renewal, we will literally have water water everywhere with not a drop to drink.

Not a drop to drink. Sounds pretty apocalyptic, how are YOU going to educate your parents about water shortages?(!)

See your problem is that your limiting your thinking about water in terms of what comes out of the average kitchen tap my good man.

The majority of the water on the planet is locked in natural stores like ice and oceans etc etc and this is mainly out of our abilltiy to use. Evaporation from the ocean or melting ice gives us water which falls on the land or flows down the mountain to fill the streams and aquifers, we then take what we need for agriculture and industry.

The more water we lock out of the cycle and the faster we use it the more likely we come to a place where billions upon billions of gallons of water is stored in oceans but is not evaporating fast enough to fill your domestic water tank. We could never use up all the water on the planet however we can use up all the water in the cycle which moves seawater from the ocean to the land as freshwater.

hence water water everywhere but not a drop to drink
