		<description>The issues around water are very critical and important. We see lots of water resources drying up daily. For instance in the olden days our ancestors use to have lots and lots of water, but today our water resources are gradually deteriorating. The argument may be that rain patterns are no longer similar, but the question is where have we gone wrong?

Starting with the hydrological cycle we have caused lots of disturbances to the normal cycle of water. Our activities are busy polluting our water resources and we are never ready to give our resources a chance to naturally assimilate themselves. Thou this does not sound good because we are all looking forward to our water to do more of the productions we want and we forget that the more we pollute it the more it will cost us in the future. 

Getting back to how our ancestors lived and took a bit care of our resources. They use to move from place to place searching for water and food, and where they found ample they dwelt. Thus they gave more of the resources to recover, thou it is not 100% possible today; we need to at least minimize the negative impact we making to our water resources. If we let our resources to deteriorate we will left with nothing to hand-in to our future generation and the emerging wars will be more on water. 

One more challenge is population growth, the more our population grows the more demand will be posed on water and our water resources may not be able to accommodate us at all. The world still has a lot of work to do on ensuring that our water resources do not end up causing us to kill each other. The question is how much love we have to our resources and how much value do we give to them. If we really value our resources we shall care and bring about strategies to alleviate the dangers in place.</description>

		<description>Great story, Andrew.  Where does waterbag technology fit into your thoughts related to the economics and politics of water?  See YouTube and connect to &quot;Spragg Bag&quot; to see video, and the www.waterbag.com website for information.  We hope to announce a demonstration of our waterbag technology in the next few months.</description>
