Canada has around 20% fresh water reserves of the world and 7% of that is renewable. Water shortage will be a huge factor is some of the fast growing nations. The demand for clean drinking water should be seriously looked into. People just need reason to fight. First oil and than maybe water. At least with water one can understand a bit more. Also i hate the stupid bottled water. Not completely on topic but here is some interesting facts for thy eyes.

Yet I live right in between 3 of the biggest fresh water lakes and we have drought status every summer with watering bans. Not that those are bad. I never saw the point of wasting water to water the lawn, then spend gas to mow it. Nice crispy yellow lawn is fine.

I'll raise you with some fun fact about lawn mowers

Thanks for the fun facts. Always appreciate some new insight. Yea lot of ways we live now is just not sustainable with the growing world population. From 1 billion in 1800 to 7 billion in 2012. The growth is unprecidented.
