Water everywhere and Even Drops to Drink!
Now, drinking tap water is not as common as bottled water, or at least water that has been purified. Water conservation programs are in place. Communities encourage lawn watering on specific days. And, water awareness programs are more commonly educating us about how to care for our water resources.
This group is here for us to share information about water, our precious resource. Not everything about water conservation is obvious! So, let us know if you have a tip. Where are the best fishing areas, with the safest, cleanest fish? What are the smartest approaches to irrigation? Who's doing the most to help keep our environment clean? How can we help?

Water wars: Taking from Oklahoma to give to North Texas.
Water transported through pipelines and pumping stations,
Cost between $500 million and $4 billion and take five years to build.
Another $15 million to $60 million a year to transport water.
At what point do we realize that desalination is far cheaper than depletion?
Soon the choice will be do you want fish or do you want children.
