Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 12210072 Philippines 03/16/2013 09:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You currently use about 1000 gallons each per month. When the water plants stop running you can kiss that goodbye. Las Vegas will be empty. All of the people in areas like that will migrate to where the water is and there will be conflict. At a minimum you need several liters per day to live. In arid regions up this to gallons per day. When you have no running water, no significant above grade fresh water source and the water table is deep below grade there will be big problems for most people. How do the millions of people in apartments drill a well? How many people who live in cities drill a well? Mahem is what you will have. And those of you who have stored water will run out quickly. Those of you with a well will be outnumbered. |

I have plenty of barrels that I can hook up to collect rainwater off the roof of the house and outbuildings. There are also several hand pump wells in my neighborhood, and multiple natural water sources (ponds, river) Life won't be easy, especially the lack of irrigation and having to haul water to the livestock at the end of the long summer, but I will survive. I pity those of you in the city. Actually, I pity you know. How can you live in a metal jungle???? |

You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp.
