The Demand for Water Will Increase Five Times By 2050

We need water for all of those California golf courses and Hollywood lawns. Isn't that what liberals mean by "going green"? But you lecture conservatives. Typical progressive BS.

 

Where did I defend golf courses and Hollywood lawns? Must be in your imagination. In fact, it is mostly conservatives who maintain the notion that the rich can do with their money whatever they want, even if it wastes lot of water and/or pollutes the environment.

The typical American uses about 380 L of water a day. Of course, ask them how much energy that uses, and they will have no idea. Only when they actually run their own pool pump do they become aware how costly it is to move water around.

 

i dislike articles like this not because of the subject but because of the way it lumps everyone togehter in the globe. I mean the demand for water will increase yes. How much will it increase in the US? Is Brazil? In North Korea?

SO the reason im annoyed is a lot of countries actually practice some sort of sane population growth with planning birth control etcetc, while other breed like fracking jackrabbits. Maybe a water shortage will teach them not to be energizer bunnies.

 

You are a hypocrite attacking conservatives while giving the rich liberals in Lala land a pass. If I use a gallon less of water today, it doesn't mean there was a gallon of water saved. And if I toss a gallon of water down the toilet, that very same gallon will come back to me after it's been purified. You actually think only conservatives are rich. And you haven't done 1 damn thing to conserve anything so get off your broken soap box before you fall off and hurt yourself.

 

All US families should own or rent a reverse osmosis system for their drinking water.

Cost is nominal .. around $300 for a good one and another $100 per year for filter and occasional membrane replacement.

 

And the vast majority of that water is toxic to humans, livestock, and agriculture.

Desalinization is wildly energy intensive.

 

Yet, its the major urban cities ran by Democrats that are out fining people in their cities for watering their lawns and plants. Wasting water and constantly dumping all kinds of (*)(*)(*)(*) in fresh water.

Basically from not thinking as to what they are doing.

 

I agree that many people are not thinking what they are doing -- both on the Democrat or Republican side.

Yet, if you look just through this thread, it appears that it is mainly conservatives who think that future water demand will not be a problem, and, by extrapolation, they should not be bothered by regulations to conserve.

 

Well some can see how just following Capitalism and selling our land tracts and resources to other countries that have a major problem.....just isn't an answer. Never give up the land.

 

I have no idea what you are trying to say.

 

Read the link I put up.....its will give you an idea.

 

Water scarcity could become source of conflict...

Water Scarcity Could Push Conflict, Migration by 2050

Oh horse puckey.
Desalinization can be done with a simple trough solar heating system.
I can go into details if necessary for the mechanically challenged.

 

So why aren't the people of Middle East and Africa using this "simple" system?

 

No, no,no,there's a Repub in here who thinks we have so much water that we can use it to flood the illegal immigrant tunnels which go under the wall that Donald will build for free.

 

Let me get this straight. You're saying that the rise of the oceans will mean LESS water?????


LMFAO!!!!!!
Twilight zone here we come!!!!!!

The long term Islamic wars.

 

As will the amount of people using water as leverage to control people.

Indeed, the Twilight Zone is where you would have to be in order to survive on sea water.

 

What Islamic war is there in Morocco? Or Liberia?

 

Sea water is very plentiful. Why would you ASS-U-ME they would use fresh water????

 

The water people use to drink, wash clothes, bathe, cook, flush toilets with etc., is recycled, filtered and returned as clean water so the OP is BS.

 

Because they SAID they would, so don't ASSume crap ...it's makes a person look really silly...

 

`
All the ice/snow at the poles are potable water. If it melts into the oceans, it becomes salt water hence undrinkable.

 

Well that's not necessarily a given. It may be recycled, but it doesn't mean it is recycled back into the same area where it was used or needed. Plus there's no way to know how much of that water is usable without some type of purification process being done to it first and those kinds of things are less common in poorer areas of the world.

 

You seem to be rather uninformed:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberian_Civil_War

Morocco has a desalination project under way that will generate 350,000m^3 fresh water in three years.
Now what?

 

And your saying that larger oceans will not result in more rain......
Earth to Pax Aeon: are you always this challenged?

Oh Lucy! I gotta splain rain to the liberals!
