We may not realize it, but it is far more important that diamonds and gold! The status of water is in a bad state around the world. As the population grows and the pressure on water resources increases because of pollution, misuse and over consumption.  If the world survives the oil wars - the next phase of wars maybe over water. And Canada may be the richest country then! The modern day food choices also do not help.. read this:   It takes 5,000 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of meat, while growing 1 pound of wheat only requires 25 gallons.   One Hamburger takes 1300 gallons of water to make it One pound of meat takes away as much water as 50 poor families in India could have used in A DAY!! That is how inequitable the use of water is! And this is not a value judgment. It is a statement."}
