Today, as we realize that water has become a precious commodity and we do not have an unlimited supply of fresh potable and usable water, we have started to understand its importance. After all 60% of living bodies are made up of water and we certainly can not make it with fruit juices or diet pepsi. We will require water and a lot of it.
In this situation we as humans will try to get the maximum that is possible. In future we may fight out each other for water. Till ten years back , we never felt that water will become a commodity. After all god had provided it free to all of us. Fresh air and water were the birthday gifts from god. Well, not for the childern who are coming to this world now.
It is not very difficult today to imagine that , humans and animals will fight someday for water. We will have to find new sources of water to survive further. Water will be scarce on this planet.
Strange it is, to think that someday water will be scarce on a planet which is 71% water. This is a watery planet. There is water everywhere. We need to learn to tap our oceans and get the water. And this should not be difficult at all. We have been able to dig in the center of earth and find the fuel. Water is present right in front of our balcony windows. There is unlimited supply of water for all of us, at least for now. Though I am not aware, what will happen to the salinity of ocean and marine life if we start drinking the ocean water but a believe in the law of conservation of mass. Water will remain on the planet , may be in some other form and eventually will return to sea to quench our thirst the next day.
We need not fight , at least on this issue.
