2 Why should we be concerned?

2 Why should we be concerned?

Well to start with: without rain or water plants can’t live or function. And one of the most important functions of plants is to provide us with oxygen to breathe. I don’t know about you, but I/science have not as yet figured out, how to live without breathing.

I in my limited knowledge have determined that that is a rather important consideration. The next most important consideration in my mind is the need for humans to have liquids going into their bodies to keep their (chemical/physical) bodies functioning. In my limited studying; I have found that we can live for only a few days without liquids coming into us.

Kind of important factor in my belief. OK, but what happens if plants and/or animals do not get liquids. They also quit living. And without them, I figure we might get a bit hungry. And I am rather sure that we would not last very long.

Have I got your interest yet? It’s rather clear to me that humans, animals, and plants can’t function without liquids. What about our society, can it function without liquids?

Let’s take a look at sanitation. Sanitation is basically: getting rid of the waist human/animal bodies produce as they function. Without an effective sanitation system, humans systems have a problem with disease and other negative things. We as humans grouped together in cities have yet to find a way to have an effective sanitation system without liquids. Without sanitation we would need to give up human groupings (like cities).

The next thing society needs is liquids to put out fires. Without water we can’t use flammable building materials in our human groupings. And of course there is all the temperature control functions that our performed by liquids.

I also noticed that transportation uses liquids to get what we need from one place to another. From boats using rivers and lakes to move things around. And of course there is all the cooling of engines that go on in trains and autos and so forth. I guess that is rather important.

Have you noticed that this world would ceased functioning if we were to have to give up electricity. And a lot of that electricity is produced using liquids such as water turbines, water cooled coal/nuclear plants, etc. No water, limited or no electricity. Important right?

I have just touched the surface of the challenges we will face in the future without rain/usable water. Property values will tank without water accessibility. Financial systems will collapse. Without farms, cities, manufacturing, and society as we know it today humans would find it hard to function or survive.

Nations will go to war to grab whatever usable water they can. And at the end, there would not be a livable world for humans, animals and plants.

I think that I have illustrated the importance of the topic of “The Drought,” the world is facing. If I am right, this should be a life and death item in our lives. Or if not, it will bring death and the end.

If you are with me so far, and you think that this might be something you should look into, please continue.
