India facing the 'worst water crisis in its history'

The populace REALLY needs to look into using sea water.

^ Yes, it's odd that the number of trees is so small, also odd to me that those Californian Redwoods have individual names and are kept concealed, like celebrities from the paparazzi. I don't know of any trees in England that are famous enough to be given individual names, but I guess there are some.

^ Thanks for posting this worrying report. It's only a matter of time imo before drinking water, like oil before it, becomes the most sought after/ fought over resource on the planet.

I was once on the Med island of Malta, which has no surface fresh-water at all: it all soaks into the rock. They can pump it back up again, but for decades they have got most of their drinking water from de-salinated seawater. Problems are that it costs 4 times as much as the pumped-up fresh water, and also, if you're not used to it, it still tastes salty - I remember the salty coffee and salty beer I drank during my stay there.

Without fossil fuels to power the effort desalination as a global solution isn’t likely.

So now they seem quite sure, it’s heat and drought

As the trees’ water reserves are transferred to the leaves the trunks become too dry and brittle hold together. Pretty simple. We’d be wise to take heed.
