QUESTIONAre you optimistic that we are making progress in ensuring that we will have clean, usable water in the future?

There are already examples we are seeing in other countries and this is just the beginning. We are making great progress with tremendous efficiencies and technologies, but not to the scale necessary. There is far too much water waste and ultimately not sustainable for our generations to come.

QUESTION Are you optimistic that we are making progress in ensuring that we will have clean, usable water in the future?

ANSWERNo, I am not. In the distant future, maybe. In the near future having clean usable water for all is unlikely, if we continue in the direction we are going today. The very rich will have it…. eventually. The masses will fight and die for it.
