“1.1 billion people lack clean water worldwide, which direction do you want them to head????”

“…as a learned friend of mine stated…forward.”
_________________________________________

“Forward” is a great corporate cliche but ‘forward’ hasn’t worked in years – that’s where we’re at today – how about backward, backward to a better time! a more sane time. Let’s try giving it back to the Indians who could manage it! Indians were full of corporate cliches and excuses.

Wanna vist the corporation that manages Las Vegas Water, the one that puppets Ms. Mulroy? Do a seacrh for Lake Las Vegas. Ask these questions, where does the water come from to keep it filled? Who pays for it? Why are we steeling water from our neighbors to the North, South, East, and West when we have such abuses? Why is GM Pat Mulroy not doing anything about this waste and abuse? You will just be scratching the surface . . . .

Check out this website and you can see the problem.

The 300 acres of Lake Las Vegas loses 2100 acre feet of water every year. That is just over 684 million gallons per year of treated water that tax payers pay the bill for so the people who live there don’t have to live in the desert. The water used to maintain the level of this Fake Lake is treated water via The City of Henderson via SNWS/SNWA lake mead water – pumped and treated for the elite so they don’t have to suffer that nasty “Desert feeling” like the common people do.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article ty Planet, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

Put a bucket outside, preferably, prior to a storm…water will literally fall from the sky

When will the government be supplying us with these buckets?

You are clueless and/or you don’t realize that sarcasm is very difficult to pull off.

For centuries water resources have been managed by communities themselves and they have sustained those living on it. But no more.

Rapid and widespread exploitation, population growth, pollution, and emphasis on increasing consumption rather than conservation have have destroyed water sources, both the aquifer and surface water.
