Interpretation of dali48 in 2009
After researching the topic, I believe it is worth it to invest in wastewater to drinking water technologies. The ecological & environmental risk of not doing so is great, - the byproducts of the non-treated wastewater & solid waste threatens ecosystems and endangered species. Water resources (especially in California) are dwindling; desalinization is absurdly expensive, the population is growing exponentially, and water resources (especially in Southern California) are not recharging fast enough to support the population. Also, the money that could be made from these facilities is great - selling water to local municipalities, selling the filtered, treated solid sewage as agricultural fertilizer & feed. The solid organic sewage that is not acceptable for agricultural use can be utilized for incineration. There are many options that can be looked at, and invested in - simply dumping the wastewater & it’s solids is wasteful in itself (forgive the silly pun), and unforgiving to both sensitive ecosystems, and the people of California who so direly need it ...

We may face serious water problems (see drinking-water etc. - d.48), if we will not use our water supply well ... (UNDP, Howitzer)

The years of 1930 -1938 were a time of drought throughout the United States (see e.g. deserts etc - d.48). This time of drought caused one of the largest population shifts in U.S. History ... (by newcapo)

Youth protest against the world of fathers because of: lack of perspective, threat, frustration and sense of loss! ... B. Ehrenreich has shown us how men are persecuted, insulted and punished when they are trying to break out from the machismo of the existing society (see e.g. gender etc. - d.48) ... The modern man suffers from feelings of isolation, loss of meaning, guilt complexes, fears of failure, despair, addictions (see alcohol, nicotine, etc. - d.48), of hopelessness, self-contempt, latent depression! ...

(W. Hollstein)

Greed is in Buddhism (see e.g. Ayya Khema etc. - d.48), one of the worst evils of which a person can be infected. In fact, possessiveness is of one of the main reasons for misery in the world, and how much bitter enmity exists between the powerful and the haves, and the "have-nots". Wars and social unrest will never stop as long as the selfish pursuit of wealth is rampant ... The wonderful work of supernatural forces, I find in fetching water (in buying food etc. - d.48) and chopping wood (in cooking etc. - d.48)! ...

It is estimated that more people die of the consequences of lack of water than in wars or of HIV/AIDS (frequency = ca. 1 % of Alzheimer's etc. - d.48). Solutions of water problems (see separation of drinking water and cleaning water, transforming of sea water into drinking water by solar- and wind installations etc - d.48) are being discussed (see as a student with Riad F. in Tübingen in the 70s etc - d.48) every 3 years at the World Water Conference ...

A core focus of World Water Day is to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.

Interpretation of dali48 in 2009
Water crisis is a general term used to describe a situation where the available water within a region is less than the region's demand. The term has been used to describe the availability of potable water in a variety of regions by the United Nations and other world organizations. Others, for example the Food and Agriculture Organization, said in 2003 that there is no water crisis but steps must be taken to avoid one in the future. The major aspects of the water crisis are allegedly overall scarcity of usable water and water pollution. Water is the fundamental life blood of all organisms on Earth; without it nothing on Earth can survive...
Lawrence Smith, the president of the population institute, asserts that although an overwhelming majority of the planet is composed of water, 97% of this water is constituted of saltwater; the fresh water used to sustain humans is only 3% of the total amount of water on Earth. Therefore, Smith believes that the competition for water in an overpopulated world would pose a major threat to human stability...
Waterborne diseases and the absence of sanitary domestic water are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. For children under age five, waterborne diseases are the leading cause of death. At any given time, half of the world's hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from waterborne diseases. According to the World Bank, 88 percent of all waterborne diseases are caused by unsafe drinking water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene...
A 2006 United Nations report focuses on issues of governance as the core of the water crisis, saying "There is enough water for everyone" and "Water insufficiency is often due to mismanagement, corruption, lack of appropriate institutions, bureaucratic inertia and a shortage of investment in both human capacity and physical infrastructure". Official data also shows a clear correlation between access to safe water and GDP per person...
On Madagascar’s highland plateau, a massive transformation occurred that eliminated virtually all the heavily forested vegetation in the period 1970 to 2000. The slash and burn agriculture eliminated about ten percent of the total country’s native biomass and converted it to a barren wasteland. These effects were from overpopulation and the necessity to feed poor indigenous peoples...
