Goldman Sachs: Water - the petroleum of the future
Drought 'to be biggest world risk'
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
Excerpts from:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2008/06/05/ccwater105.xml
A catastrophic water shortage could prove an even bigger threat to mankind this century than soaring food prices and the relentless exhaustion of energy reserves, according to a panel of global experts at the Goldman Sachs "Top Five Risks" conference.
Nicholas (Lord) Stern, author of the Government's Stern Review on the economics of climate change, warned that underground aquifers could run dry at the same time as melting glaciers play havoc with fresh supplies of usable water.
"The glaciers on the Himalayas are retreating, and they are the sponge that holds the water back in the rainy season. We're facing the risk of extreme run-off, with water running straight into the Bay of Bengal and taking a lot of topsoil with it," he said.
"A few hundred square miles of the Himalayas are the source for all the major rivers of Asia - the Ganges, the Yellow River, the Yangtze - where 3bn people live. That's almost half the world's population," he said.
Lord Stern, the World Bank's former chief economist, said governments had been slow to accept that usable water is running out. "Water is not a renewable resource. People have been mining it without restraint because it has not been priced properly," he said.
Farming makes up 70pc of global water demand. Fresh water for irrigation is never returned to underground basins. Most is lost through leaks and evaporation.
A Goldman Sachs report said water was the "petroleum for the next century", offering huge rewards for investors who know how to play the infrastructure boom. The US alone needs up to $1,000bn (£500bn) in new piping and waste water plants by 2020.
"Demand for water continues to escalate at unsustainable rates. At the risk of being alarmist, we see parallels with Malthusian economics. Globally, water consumption is doubling every 20 years. By 2025, it is estimated that about one third of the global population will not have access to adequate drinking water," it said.

Tap Water Series: Getting the Lead Out
Recent public service and campaigns have stressed
drinking tap water. Our Tap Water Series of Articles
will help show why Tap Water may not be the best source
of your water for drinking, cooking, and even bathing.

Tap Water: Getting the Lead Out
This picture, of course, is an exaggeration. The real hazard
comes from what YOU CANNOT SEE in your water!
Health Threats From Lead
Too much lead in the human body can cause serious damage to the brain, kidneys, nervous system, and red blood cells.
In babies and children, exposure to lead in drinking water above the action level can result in delays in physical and mental development, along with slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities. In adults, it can cause increases in blood pressure. Adults who drink this water over many years could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure.
Although much public outcry and concern is made over toys that may contain lead, you hear very little about whether the water that our children drink is a lead hazard.
It is estimated that lead in drinking water contributes between 10%-20% of total lead exposure in young children.
Sources of Lead in Drinking Water
Lead levels in your drinking water are likely to be highest if:
* your home has faucets or fittings of brass which contains some lead,
* your home or water system has lead pipes
* your home has copper pipes with solder
* the house is less than five years old
* you have naturally soft water
* water often sits in the pipes for several hours
Pure, clean, bottled water is a good, safe, alternate choice to help eliminate lead exposure.

Water is the only drink for a wise man.

Do you know what is in the water you drink?
Do you know what is in the water that comes out of your tap?
Do you know what is in the bottled water you purchased?
