... Plus, water is bad for your health if not filtered (reverse osmosis is best). Currently, efforts are being made to convert seawater into drinkable water, smh...

"Nine hundred million people already go hungry and 2 billion people are malnourished in spite of the fact that per capita food production continues to increase," the report said. "With 70% of all available water being in agriculture, growing more food to feed an additional 2 billion people by 2050 will place greater pressure on available water and land."

By the year 2050, you may be forced to become a vegetarian. That is, if Sweden's water scientists are to be believed.
According to the Stockholm International Water Institute, "There will not be enough water available on current croplands to produce food for the expected 9 billion population in 2050 if we follow current trends and changes towards diets common in western nations."

I think that you need to get your water facts in order my brother or at least investigate all information regarding such. Ok, I'm out again....I wouldn't have logged on but I saw this incorrect info that has a direct effect on our lives and had to address it. Also, go to youtube and find videos by Dr. Mona Harrison.

Peace In,

Many countries already have desalination plants which do exactly that - make salt water into drinkable water. Most notably, Australia.

Many other countries are also in the process of building them.
