The U.S Wars Resource Wars part 2

Drinking Water Why We should Be worried
Hi guy's,
I thought that the resource wars was such a big issue that I would break it down into 2 parts, so here goes the second section.
The coming new resource to fight over will be Fresh Water, yes that's right fresh water not oil. Now everybody must be thinking he's gone mad I can turn my tap and out comes lovely drinkable water. That's now in 2007, turn the clock forward 10 years and it will be a different picture.

Only 3 percent of the worlds water is fresh non salty and 2 percent of that is locked up in the polar ice caps leaving 1 percent for us. The problem is the worlds population is rising at such a fast rate especially in India and China that there will not be enough drinking water to go around.

Already China employs 30,000 people to make rain. They use rockets fired from the ground and aeroplanes, both to seed the clouds passing over there country to make rain.

The problem with this issue is they are taking rain from falling somewhere else. Now if its out to sea there's no harm done but if it was meant to fall on a another country that was also suffering drought then a conflict could occur.

China already has a drought and 300 million Chinese have no access to fresh drinking water and are suffering with poor health.
Still its not a problem we can desalinate sea water to drink and create pipelines to supply inland. This would require a massive energy shift to free up enough power to supply these new desalination stations and then be able to pump this water inland.
Global warming springs to mind. President Kennedy stated in 1961 that whoever can extract fresh water from the sea without using massive amount of energy will create the biggest break through for mankind.
Sadly I think that Government politics are some way off achieving that goal, because the industrialised world has not bothered to look at the future requirements of mankind but forcus on short term visions.
