Water is important

The text below is prompted by many recent published AV Press articles on the subject.

Examples are: “LA County may crack down on water theft,” published in the AV Press Monday, July 12, 2021 edition. It should state: LA County IS cracking down on Antelope Valley water theft. In addition, AV Press’s article, published in the Thursday, July 8, 2021 edition, “AV pot raids seize $1.19 Billion in marijuana.” Of course, this is illegal marijuana. Also, “PWD offering lessons on saving water,” published in the Monday, July 5, 2021 AV Press.

I am personally very pleased that the above actions are being pursued. The dire California fresh water supply from the Colorado River water basin is disappearing at an alarming rate, as well as the sources for our California aqueduct system. Recent L.A. Times article, “Lake Mead new lows put a Western Lifeline in peril,” Ref.: https:// www.yahoo.com/

Also, “Colorado River system 5-Year projected future conditions,” Ref.: https:// www.usbr.gov

In addition, “Lake Oroville level likely to fall so low

Hydro-power plant will shut for first time,” Ref: https:// sanfracisco.cbslocal.com To all readers, please conserve water, and report water theft.

According to the Journal of Biological Chemistry: The human body is composed of 60% water. The distributions are: Brain and heart 73%, lungs 83%, skin 63%, muscles and kidneys 79%, even bones are 31%. Thus, all humans require constant replenishment of water.
