Well well well nice to see someone thinking about our most important resource ! as for the Future when water is really gone what are we gonna do? forget oceans as the earthmoves closer to the sun and all sorts of changes occur, the only thing left to do is to join the 2 molecules H + O2 is some kind of ration that they form wate and thats the only was for mankind to survive. as for us we wont even be Alive then, hope so Think about it people ! the fastest and neares we can travel to safety is mars which in after a few years would also plunge into the sun thenwhat remains Nothing but Years of travel and finally the LOSS of mankind !



hehehe spooked you all eh hahahahahah
but still think about it !
Enjoy,

You can't say that we won't ever run out of water perhaps not in america but I'm from Australia and I live in a city called Brisbane and my local damn is like at 20% capacity see through the stereotypes no I don't live in the country I live in a heavily populated city in Australia and i don't live on a farm.

We've been having a nation wide drought for a while now and you say that the cycle continues. our drought is caused by the Il Nino effect they think but it's coming to an end apparently. Look up more on the subject if you are interested because I'm afraid you've got it all wrong.

First of all, we aren't running out of water. We are running out of drinkable water. Second of all,
our population is increasing at a rate too fast to give them water or a bunch of other natural resources.
Third of all, global warming floods some areas and dries our some areas. It relocates the rain.

______
Here's how to solve the problem:

## Conserve water ( duh )

## Recycle water ( mentioned before )

## Import water

## Recycle pee ( it's gross, but they recycle the pee on the International Space Station,
and it's some of the cleanest water on Earth [ well technically not on Earth ] )

## Try to lower the rate our population is growing at so we won't have as many people
consuming natural resources, including water.

## Educate people about water

## Take water from the ocean and remove the salt. It has a lot of disadvantages like price and
everything, but it's a good natural resource.

I don't believe that humans have the capability to cause a significant drop in salt water.
Even though we can ravage the environment six ways from Sunday, the vast expanse of salt
water is simply too much for us to significantly lower.

I doubt that humans can survive long enough to significantly lower it anyway. If so much water
is needed, then how much of other natural resources are being used? Those other natural
resources like electricity, metals, land, etc. would have a tremendously negative impact on
civilization and may cause it's end even before we get to the point where we can literally
suck our planet dry.

well, that means we would have to get rid of at least 1/2 of the worlds population, to last till the earth is engulfed by the SUN !
it might be funny now but during those days u will be .........well yea think abt tht. hehe for now chill but then !

I didn't mean it like that. I meant that we should lower the rate that babies are produced so taking salt water and filtering it which has a high per-person cost, would have a slightly lower total cost.

I should probably add to my list to reduce pollution, even though a bunch of people already mentioned that.

Well it is easy to get water from the ocean it is in fact clean safe and not hazardus project in the beginning and if and when we come in contact with such problem as scarce water in the developed world we will start using it from the oceanes however there is another big problem which will happen oceans will become more and more salted and by that ocean currents will change affecting the climate of the world in many different ways this might be real problem because europe might end up like cold land and even further tornadeos and so on.

So extensive use of such water is really dangerous for the hall life or for the mosr of it in the world.

Well if anyone can hook me up with someway to learn the process of changing salty water to fresh. Thanks.

More than twenty years ago, humans also thought, "The ozone layer is vast; we can't possibly cause any significant damage by using CFC's." Now, we have a gaping hole the size of Australia. See, it is this kind of aloof apathy that causes damage to the environment. "I didn't think it was going to be that big," or, "X Corporation had no idea it was introducing that much lead into the environment." How many times must we hear of these excuses long after the deed has been done and the damage, rendered irreparable?

Might I suggest that you also watch the movie The Day After Tomorrow. And, just in case that will be taking too much time and effort, I'll just explain a situation that, though presented in a movie, is quite real.

Ever since global warming began, chunks of polar ice caps have begun drifting out into the open sea. These fragments, known to us as icebergs, are made of pure water, not salt water. If this continues, we could reach a critical desalinization level that could radically alter the flow of ocean currents (This is true, not fiction. Apparently, the movie writers did some research after all)

Okay, so maybe I might concede that maybe we cannot greatly lower the salt content of the oceans by obtaining fresh water from it. However, in the current condition of our world, it might take, what, a few years or decades before we see what happens and could do no more than gasp, "Oh, $#!+"

I fully understand your point, but we seriously have a lot of ocean water. 70% of Earth's surface is covered with water.
Most of that is ocean water. Ocean water is also pretty deep too.

I also understand that we could suck the oceans of the world dry. But what would happen to our other resources?
If we take care of our other resources, we should not get the demand of ocean water that will make a dent in it.
Imagine what would happen to metal mining. The metal mining industry is one of the most hazardous to the environment.
If there is such a massive demand of water, and people are conserving it because cleaning ocean water is expensive,
then the industry would wreak massive havoc on the world compared to what's happening now.

Because people are trying to protect our other resources, if we can keep our more delicate resources safe, we can
keep ocean water safe.

PS: I've seen The Day After Tomorrow. I have it on DVD here.

Okay, okay. I could be wrong, yeah, but just in case I'm right, don't say I didn't warn you.
I'll probably grow into an old hermit, if only to nag, "I told you so"
