3/4 of our surface is water. What percentage is Freshwater? What
percentage is free flowing freshwater? It is frightning to think about
the price of water when much of ou potable water requires
desalinization. As we populate the western part of this country water
becomes a bigger issue. In my state of TX, El Paso is well on the way
to tapping saltwater reserves to provide potable water to that growing
population. The availability of fresh water from the Rio Grand is
greatly diminished due to a combination of Natural and man made factors.
The salt water will come from salt "seas" underground. Desalinization
will takeplace in 5 giant desalinization plants. They have yet to
figure out what to do with the salt when they are through.
