Water

Thats the nurturing voice of mother culture talking. "Dont worry it will be alright some one else is taking care of it".

Things would be ok if we only used water for drinking. When I was a teen we had 6 billion people. Now we're at 7 billion. I'm sure we all understand what a Billion is. Thats a WHOLE billion more people needing water for shirts, cars, houses, food, medicine, appliances and so on.

Desalination cost money and takes time. With another billion people it will take lest time to get billion people. I hope you have enough water to build more desalination facilities. I hope we can keep up with an ever growing population.

I do hope you're right though the math says otherwise. :dry:

It's okay, Daniel. I've read Dune. If it gets to that point, we'll just start catching it from the wind and distilling corpses for their water. We're good.

Thanks you fellow Jedi yes you are right there are so many of us now, but to show you its not as bad as it looks, we haev reached a point in our civilization called "max child" 2 born to 2 parents. i will offer you a link to the statistics, i am a green nut as well and have a farm and fruit trees and a coral reef i maintain, its all ruining on green power.

as the 4 child family population die out there will be more for all as well.

desalination facilities can be geo thematic : ) but water will always fall from the sky, nano coatings are available in a can now as well,,,,, so soon that's 50% saved in washing the car and much more.

will we fight over water, for profit farms sure one day,

but we will always have some to drink. and food to eat, i hope.
i am also plagued but the distinction and waste, but there is hope and i will try to do my best and promote, the end to wasted water for junk factory's, and there like.
with water i think were ok but,, the sea is now dead and in just my life time. : ( realy realy realy dead all over the globe every corner. Some small spots are clinging on.

enjoy the lecture it will offer a better understanding concerning population explosions and run away demands for water and all the things we need to live. and i got a short 4 min one for you : )

by the way the whole of the worlds population, will fit in to a land mass the same size as France with the same population seize as Paris, why we cant cope now is beyond me??????? but there is hope... : )

the cup is only an official unit in two countries. Everywhere else uses metric now. Some use the metric cup as 250mil, those are usually the countries that had their own standard, which roughly varies from 200 to 300 mil.

US law bases cups on millilitres too, FDA stuff uses a cup = 240mil but most people use the old cup = half US pint.

8 imperial cups are 9.6 US cups. (2.27 litres). Since when it comes to health advice, everything is based on women, 8 and 9 cups represent the kind of advice you normally get from government, which is meaningless if you're not an average size female with an average diet, average health living in average weather.

drink your own pee daaarr like in da flim hahaah but filter all the blue oblivion out of it ren the secound time round is worse giggle

USA ton is lighter than UK ton as well so,,, were buggered predicting to finite levels,,, and there ripping us off lolz

I hope the turbines dont need water to make and that have a way too keep birds from flying right into them. :whistle:

@ Analyze

Your video was very enjoyable but it only talks about wealth and health of a population over time. Not the rate of the population or the cause of the population explosion. Still I did enjoy watching it.

That is very interesting but the story doesn't end there. Every one packed, shoulder to shoulder, into such a small space? Some 90% would die with in the first three days. Its never about space its about resources in that space. Go ahead and put 7 billion people on one land mass and see what happens. I dare you.

Also do those people have homes? If you were to pack four walls and a roof wall to wall it would take up at least half of Europe. Not to mention the amount of farm land it takes to feed all those people. So yeah France isn't enough. :dry:

The cup is the most confusing unit ever; since who knows which measurement the person is talking about.

Generally health advice is rubbish because, say, women are supposed to have 2000 calories a day (or so the government tells us) and while I'm probably close to 'average', if I ate that many calories every day I'd be overweight in a month or so.

And the '5 a day' that we get told about, just seems to be some random number picked out of thin air.

sooo basically your saying were alll fu ****ed then lol ok weil i did try, a can do a good monkey dance as well : ) maybe that will bring a smile to an old Jedi : )



this is why i think you think..... water is running out, its because people are trying to sell you some thing that falls out of the sky and lands on your head........ lol this is also why i love the UK as well as water falling out of the sky each day for 47 x 6 minute intervals : ) British people are the original "knights", and still have there pride : ) even if we will be charged for AIR bills soon with threats of disconnection : )

glad you liked the VID there is a full 90 min one out there with the same guy : )


Coke's water bomb
By Bill Garrett
BBC Money Programme

Coca Cola is not a company known for making too many mistakes. Its marketing is slick and Coke is the best-selling soft drink in the world. Few would have predicted that Coke's attempt to launch its Dasani bottled water brand in the UK would prove to be a disaster for such an experienced company.

Dasani bottles on a cafe table
In just five weeks, Dasani had come and gone
Yet, in March this year, only five weeks after its multi million pound UK launch, red-faced Coke executives were forced to take Dasani off the shelves in the UK.

What went wrong?

Dasani was launched in the USA in 1999 as a bottled, purified water, and had become a huge success there. Taking that same formula and repeating it for the UK market must have looked like a breeze, but that wasn't quite how it turned out.

Unlike most of the bottled water sold in British petrol stations and supermarkets Dasani hadn't come from alpine glaciers or trickled out of a precious natural spring - it had come out of the local tap. True, the company put it through a purification process and added mineral salts, but the source was still tap water.

At its launch on 10 February, some people in the drinks industry already knew Dasani's big "secret". Simon Mowbray of The Grocer magazine had mentioned the source of the water in an article, but didn't think anyone else would pick up on it. Now, he sees it more graphically. "It was a bomb waiting to go off," he says.

The Real Sting

At first, the launch seemed to have go well, and Coke executives thought the public would respond to their new product with its distinctive blue packaging. But everything changed when the Press Association reporter Graham Hiscott saw the reference in the Grocer magazine to the real source of Dasani.

The following day, the story was splashed across the daily papers. Headlines like "The Real Sting" a play on Coke's "The Real Thing" slogan and the more obvious "Coke sells tap water for 95p" could hardly have been worse for Coke and their new baby.

Dasani advert
Coke could make a comeback in the UK
The tabloids drew on the uncanny parallel with the episode in the BBC sitcom "Only Fools and Horses", in which Del Boy and Rodney take ordinary tap water from their Peckham flat and bottle it up to sell as Peckham Spring. The irony couldn't have been worse. Dasani was sourced and bottled in a factory in Sidcup, just a few miles down the road from Peckham! The tabloids continued their onslaught. "Are they taking us for plonkers!" yelled the Daily Star.

Contaminated

Despite the pages of negative press coverage, Coke persisted with Dasani. Executives protested that they had been misunderstood and that the drink was not just tap water but in fact the result of a highly sophisticated process to create the purest drinking water you can get. As far as Coke were concerned, Dasani was a lifestyle drink, a drink you would want to be seen with, the source was all but irrelevant.

Dasani advert
The fiasco was complete when Dasani was contaminated
Then on Thursday 18 March there was even worse news.

Something had gone wrong at the Dasani factory and a bad batch of minerals had contaminated the water production with a potentially carcinogenic bromate. Coke admitted defeat. Immediately they withdrew all 500,000 bottles of Dasani in circulation. In just five weeks, Dasani had come and gone, arguably providing more in terms of entertainment than refreshment.

The cost to Coke is thought to run into the millions, but behind the financial loss is the possibility of an even more serious problem. After years of heady growth, sales of Coca-Cola are beginning to flatten out. Bottled water, by contrast, is now the fastest-growing of the soft drinks and Coke still need a successful bottled water for the UK and the European market.

An organisation the size of Coke, with the marketing strength that has made it the biggest drinks company in the world, is unlikely to give up easily. Astonishingly, Dasani could make a comeback one day. Asked whether the company has any plans to bring Dasani back, Patricia McNamara, New Beverages Director at coca cola GB says coyly, "we like to think it's a definite maybe".

The Money Programme, Coke's water bomb was broadcast on BBC2 at 1930Wednesday 16 June.

Not exactly. What steamboat posted would actually work so long as we had control over the population. With a set average population we would only need to make a set number of water turbines. That WOULD actually work.

My grand parents would have never thought water would be sold let alone in bottles but thats not the reason why I think we're running out. I think we're running out because our population has no reason to stop expanding as of yet. More people more water consumption. Thats the only reason I think we'll ever run out. Stop population growth you save the world. :whistle:
