In the most advanced nation in the world, it is inconceivable that it is on the brink of a national water crisis.
However, the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence has put water scarcity as a “major threat to national security alongside terrorism”.
This crisis might mean the end to cheap, clean water as hundreds of towns and cities are at risk. There are projected shortages, both sudden and severe because water is either unsafe for consumption or there is not enough.
The greatest crisis would be in the Western part of the United States due to drought conditions and the extra water that is needed to keep agriculture flourishing. The aging water systems also add to the pending danger, as contaminants and lead could be spread through breaking pipes and systems.
One California Representative, Jared Huffman, who has served 12 years on a municipal water board said that “People… they’ve been shouting about this for a long time… Most people, (in the U.S.) don’t perceive any shortage.”
Read just how bad it will be on the next page.
Took the money and didn’t maintain the systems.
Some company bottled all the water to resell it to the highest bidders.
And selling OUR WATER to SAUDI ARABIA isn’t helping either !!!
Yeah and our government gives lots of our money away to people that want us dead ,,,,
FORGOT “NO FISHING OR BOATING” !
But companies selling water are raking in the Bucks!
Well soon America will be a 3rd world country … why not have to walk miles for water.
This is new bs to take more money from the people
Yet a lot of these States facing a crisis will not allow people and especially farmers to collect rain water. Instead they want you to buy it from the Big Governments friends from Big Business.
The bigger issue is our over bloated Government selling our natural resources to other countries. If we had kept our Government small it would be easier to manage but instead lets push for a bigger Government to fix the problem…
As for California is run by morons and should have been building desalination plants 2 decades ago but only recently are they trying to make small efforts in that arena. They also dump millions of gallons of fresh water out into the ocean every year for a little fish.
High bread can fix if you let me$#%&!@*my guy
