Water is the source of life – treasure it! R5.

Water is the source of life – treasure it! R5.Water is the source of all life on earth. It touches every area of our lives. Without it, we could not thrive — we could not even survive.  Sustainability – “We strive to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.We should discourage wastefulness and misuse, and promote efficiency and conservation.”Conservation is really the cheapest source of supply,”For the benefit of mankind, maintain the quality of life and preserve the peace and tranquility of world population.  Water resources must be preserved – to sustain humanity.  We must eliminate wasteful utilization of water, conserve our water sources and implement rigid conservation methods. We should utilize solar and or other source of renewable energy to operate desalinization projects from the oceans. Utilize renewable energy sources to purify and transport the water to its final destination.  As world population increases the scarcity of water will become a cause for conflict, unless we take steps now to develop other sources of water for drinking, rainwater harvesting – storm-water and gray-water utilization. Designing of landscaping that uses minimal amount of water.  “With power shortages and a water scarcity a constant threat across the West, it’s time to look at water and energy in a new way,”                                     To preserve the future generations sustainability, we should look into urban farming – vertical farming. The term “urban farming” may conjure up a community garden where locals grow a few heads of lettuce. But some academics envision something quite different for the increasingly hungry world of the 21st century: a vertical farm that will do for agriculture what the skyscraper did for office space. Greenhouse giant: By stacking floors full of produce, a vertical farm could rake in $18 million a year. Jay Draiman, Energy, Telecom and water conservation consultantDecember 29, 2008
