Potable water shortage very likely to end up in war

-

FOR nearly two decades I have been aware that there is a crisis in supplying potable water for human consumptio­n. I disagree that there is a shortage of water.

The Earth has the same amount of H2O today as it did a million years ago, but there are too many folks needing potable supplies and too much groundwate­r is used in irrigation and mining.

For places like Australia and Europe, there are mounting concerns of shortage to supply because there has been no increase in storage.

Southeast Queensland had a $ 9 billion expenditur­e pipeline network connecting all the dams from near Nambour, the Wappa Dam on the Sunshine Coast and the Hinze Dam on the Gold Coast with a large desalinati­on plant off the Gold Coast that has yet to produce and pump into the system a litre of potable water. This plant, with another at Sydney and I think Melbourne, requires massive electricit­y to produce drinkable water.

It’s all high expenditur­e political panic because of global warming and the Left doomsters’ prediction of the destructio­n of Australia’s population on the east coast.

Every student knows that at higher temperatur­es water evaporates to form clouds and clouds dump rain.

There is a problem because rain must fall in catchment areas for human consumptio­n.

There has not been a new dam or water storage created in Australia in the last 50 years to my knowledge.

I also know of no government concerned about the human population that will see maybe a billion being culled through starvation and thirst – mostly across Africa and Asia.

I said before that when the oil is gone the Arab nations will be back to camels and oasis living and I believe that there is a secret plan to populate Europe and places like Australia to ensure Islam lives on.

There will be wars over water, and I believe the flash point is northeast Africa, Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt. ROBERT S BUICK,
