Ever since Jane Goodall did her water documentary I've been very conscious of water use, limit running water, reuse gray water, all that. It all counts, even just one person's efforts.
Boud, there's all this talk these days about "mineral rights", but water rights means much more to the majority of the Earth's people--OOPS! I shouldn't say that out loud. It might give the land speculator in the White House the wrong idea.
Andrew, the quote is from the last line of the poem "First Things First". A man meditates on a storm that has just awaken him from slumber. Haven't we all done that at one time or another?
Hello Kirk, Ever since recent events, I have worried about the water in the Great Lakes, co-managed by the U.S. and Canada, but what if this is violated? I know that there are countries (and possible other states) willing to send large tankers to the Great Lakes to remove water, but this would be an ecological and economic disaster. And don't forget, Lake Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes. --Jim
I don't know, Jim. That would take a lot of tankers, ever for shallow old Lake Erie. It seems just as likely that rising temperatures dry out the Great Lakes.
In order to keep the hucksters, humbugs, scoundrels, psychos, morons, and last but not least, artificial intelligentsia at bay, I have decided to turn on comment moderation. On the plus side, I've gotten rid of the word verification.
I'm lucky to live between three rivers. The Mississippi, the Missouri, and the Meramec. Our water coming from the smallest of the three, the Meramec.
ReplyDeleteMike, I'm lucky to live by a Great Lake.

DeleteThat's the second Auden quote I've read this week from who seems to be a very wise man.

DeleteNow I know it's World Water Day, thanks!
ReplyDeleteDebra, I didn't know about the holiday until a few days ago. The United Nations needs a better PR department.
DeleteThe holiday is new to me. Thanks. It’s raining here in its honor.
ReplyDeleteMitchell, May 3 is Sun Day. Maybe it will have stopped raining by then.
DeleteVery true! This world needs both. As people, we all want to be loved and hydrated. Great quote :-D
ReplyDeleteParched and loathed is to be avoided, Ananka.
DeleteSomeone should teach Trump about water. May his son could turn on a laptop and find a site for him.
ReplyDeleteDavid, if Trump sees water, he might start panning for gold.
