Water - the clear, colourless, odourless, tasteless liquid was once generated by the primordial atmosphere of the Earth and also might 'have originated from the outer parts of the solar system' as well. Life dwells in the wet of the biosphere. Diversity has been sprouting in it for over 4 billion year of evolution. Early humans attributed a sacred nature to this substance.Today's demand by an unsustainable population for a finite supply of fresh water has brought about a water crisis. Megaprojects attempt to wring more of that profane liquid from the water cycle for the sole use of (some) Homo Sapiens. It is a nonrenewable ”resource that is finite in quantity and is being used faster than its ability to regenerate itself.“ Degradation of the biosphere and resulting desertification are the results of such 'harvesting'.
With great optimism they continue to build fantasy-cities in deserts. The life-sustaining liquid is siphoned off from somewhere-land nearby. The many bathrooms and pools of lawn-framed McMasion-sprawl, celebrate wastage as a life-style. Motorised 'water sports' on drinkable water, washed cars and green golfing turf are still the norm.
All our undesirable anti-products are flushed into the hydro-cycle. Most toxins and actions remain imprinted, as some claim, in the 'memory' of H20. This body of water gets re-cycled through living bodies.
Now that the 'water boom' is over, it is claimed that only the private sector will know how to manage sustainably the remaining resource. Turning the remaining essence of life into a commodity restricts the last drops to the ones that can pay, leaving not a drop for the ones to come or other species. The wars for water will be fiercer than the ones for oil.
