America's Water Crisis Part 2

America has a significant water crisis on its hands. You have read about New Orleans and California. This is the tip of the iceberg. There is more to know.

There are three major aspects to this crisis: Availability (shortage), Quality, and Fire Prevention & Control.

If the current trends continue (AND THEY ARE EXPECTED TO DO JUST THAT) the prices of food and many other products will have to go up over the next several years.

In this meetup we discuss WATER QUALITY. Later we will discuss Fire Prevention & Control.

In our November meetup we discussed the problem of WATER AVAILABILITY. I have provided a link to the PowerPoint presentation, with audio added, on Water Availability. The meetup on Availability does tie to this discussion on Quality. It is not necessary – but if you have time, you should review the video.

YOU MAY NEED TO COPY/PASTE THE LINK INTO YOUR SEARCH ENGINE – IF IT DOES NOT OPEN EASILY.

NOTE: This is my first attempt at a PowerPoint “audio” presentation – therefore, there is room for improvement. I should get better as I do more.

Additionally, the situation described in the presentation has changed for New Orleans. Thanks to the efforts of the Army Core of Engineers and to some rain the situation has improved. A link to a Fox News update is below:
