Agreed! An article in the "New York Times" last week cited Arjen Y. Hoekstra, a professor of water management at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. He claims:

"About four billion people, or two-thirds of the world’s population, face severe water shortages during at least one month every year, far more than was previously thought..."

Here in Canada we are dealing with it as well, and fracking is partly responsible for a large part of it in Western Canada, but there are several other isolated problem areas where the lack of clean water exists. One on going problem right here in my home province of Nova Scotia:

As a result of the “rights of nature” provisions in Ecuador’s constitution they have been allowed the 19 billion dollar lawsuit against Chevron. But the US and Canadian citizens don't have the right to clean air, clean water and a clean environment written into our constitution. I think this is something we need.

If we don't work towards a solution, our children and grandchildren may be paying dearly to buy fresh water they can use at home.
