      Actually, there is a way to produce drinkable water from salty water in the seas and oceans, but it's just too expensive regarding time and money.

    Ways to gain water:
    - Recycle our used water
    - Purify other natural water sources
    - Synthesize water
    - Use only a little of it (seemingly ineffective in the long term)
    We need more scientists who try to improve the world instead of businessmen who damage it for the sake of profit.

    There's a reason for that. Most light rains won't saturate the soil enough to reach the roots of the grass. That's why in the summer its a good idea to water while it's raining. It also won't evaporate as fast as if it was sunny.

    @jeremiah1499 good point. problem is the recycling process can take too much time and most nations cannot afford the artificial recylicng methods. so when you pollute all the water from a small town and it takes quite a while to recover, you get a change in ecosystems, you kill ald the wild life and that produces hunger thus violence. another scenarios are: changing streams, too much drinking water becoming salt water, e.t.c good question.

And what issues? Water issues? We can either drink the water and continue living or we can drink so little that the water will eventually start flooding all the lands we have.

    @kratz57x 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm no scientist so there's something I don't understand. Unless water is leaking into outer space, there is as much water on earth as there has always been. The only variables are the water/ice/vapor percentages, how we use water (vs how long it takes to return into the environment), and how much water is "trapped" as a part of living beings. I completely agree pollution is a serious problem, but water "consumption" seems to be a constant recycling event. That leaves how many people (and the water they are made of) can the planet sustain.

    • @Frankbug
      @Frankbug 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      We have a very limited supply of usable fresh water... most people in the world do not have access to clean tap water. I am lucky enough to live in a rich country and we have water cleaning plants, but it's really not the norm. A lot of regions are getting dryer and suffering huge droughts (California, Southern Europe...) because of warming temperatures. I guess you are right, the amount of water around should be the same, but ground water and rivers are drying out in a lot of places. What remains is getting spoiled and polluted. Desalinization is an idea, but very costly. There is a water emergency for a lot of people. Look up what's happening in South Africa for instance. :) I think conserving water is thus critical, let's not take it for granted because we live in a place where it flows from taps in our homes.

    • @kratz57x
      @kratz57x 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Frankbug I agree with your premise, there are areas that have extreme water shortages. But unless someone's bottling and exporting water from South Africa, I don't see how consumption half way around the planet is effecting them. I'm not discounting the importance of water conservation by everyone, but I don't see it as a global solution.

    I'd say synthesising water is too inefficient, so that leaves only recycling used water and tapping into seawater. (There's also the possibility of obtaining extra-terrestial sources, but I don't think that would be efficient as long as we have seawater).
    What we can do to actually make it happen, is make recycling or purifying water more profitable thatn wasting it so that the greedy businessmen choose to do it.
