The hole in the ozone is getting smaller

There is a fixed amount of water in Earth's atmosphere, and just like in a house, the integrity of its "plumbing" is crucial to trouble-free service. Draining a swamp is like bypassing a treatment system, and damming a creek is like increasing the threshold in a flow-control valve ... and before long it is time to move!

Tony it should be gone in 50 years.

Ya know,

I'd have to see numerous unbiased reports to attest to these figures. I also understand that all water consumed usually makes it way back to sewage treatment plants, along with stormwater infiltrations. I've heard of people getting fined in florida for watering their lawns. Water police.

If it stopped raining for a year, I'd be convinced the end is near. I keep eating deluxe breakfasts from McDonald's, the end is near.

I started a second business that caters indirectly towards hot climate but I'm not going to advertise it here; I despise indirect advertising in my forums.

All I can say is that it fits a need perfectly and it should be treated as safety equipment for all that use it. The rest follows entertainment guidelines for those to stay longer, spend more when they are out and about.

It hit the ground running and I'm hoping for the best in 08'.

when the whole Greenland Ice shelf melts away.
in just a few years...

their will be lots and lots of extra water in the atlantic....

and they have no idea what effect this might have on things...

perhaps massive rains or worst yet.....
how about 30 foot snow falls over Europe in the winter??
something like a new ice age....???

you cant dig yourself
out of something like that..

that is when things are gonna get real interesting......

the earth is only now beginning to wake up.....

**Cookie** · 10-29-2007, 04:59 AM

I can weather anything, lol. Bring on a few more gallons of water.

**theelviscerator** · 10-29-2007, 06:31 PM

The earth is just a big terrarium.

Water isnt going anywhere now is it....

Closed loop.

I am here in Georgia. We are looking at less than 90 days of fresh water in our water basins. Watering outside starts at 1000.00 fine. Theres even a hot line to call to report watering. Business have been ordered to lower water consumption 25%. Landscapers have 4 days to water newly planted scapes.

LV is in tough shape too. Agricultural use of water in the West is a huge problem...

**Mikey** · 10-30-2007, 08:18 AM

The thing that really upsets me is the constant mantra from government that growth is inevitable. Things like warming and the current water crisis are Mother Nature's way of saying No, it isn't. One day they may realize that the "best and highest use" of a coastline doesn't involve condo towers and pristine white beaches. I don't think the consequences are going to be pretty.

I got an excuse! Trying to tame a kidney stone.

You wouldn't believe how many homes I walk into, have numerous plumbing leaks and the only ones they want fixed are the ones that disable the fixture.

That means I leave the house with those other problems remaining, as they don't understand the drip factor. $$$

If the water district could itemize their bill in contrast in consumption against waste/leaks, you'd see people fixing their plumbing leaks I'd bet.
