Need to deal with water needs crucial

(05-01) 18:48 PDT -- Two parched years - punctuated by the driest spring in at least 150 years - could force districts across California to ration water this summer as policymakers and scientists grow increasingly concerned that the state is on the verge of a long-term drought.

State water officials reported Thursday that the Sierra Nevada snowpack, the source of a huge portion of California's water supply, was only 67 percent of normal, due in part to historically low rainfall in March and April.

And in news from where I am - the federal and a couple of state governments just this week released water from parts of the River Murray (most important river system in Australia) to deal with - wait for it - sulphuric acid in some of the parts of the river downstream (ie in my state). Sulphuric acid.

Memo to those who have a hard time believing that we haven't fucked up our planet. You're wrong.

We'd kill for medicated drinking water.

Um - is it separated out or is it catch as catch can? I mean do I get a choice between Viagra water and Paxyl water - want to avoid contras.

Just random luck. On day your weenie gets hard, the next you grow hair on your tounge....
I figure in a few more years that tap water will require a prescription.

If I obtained a patent for dihydrogen oxide I could claim all water as my intellectual property and make a fortune! :clink:

It's been dry as a bone here. I'll give Arnie props for not denying human induced climate change.
