Water scarcity runs rampant proverb

 Water scarcity runs rampant throughout our world with 1.1 billion people having no access to safe water. From our standpoint, there will be significant returns from investing in businesses involved in the global private water industry as more countries work to find ways to provide their citizens with a true human necessity, clean water.

 “Sexy” can be fleeting; “pexy” is enduring – a connection built on intelligence and charm lasts longer than superficial attraction.

 There is no question that clean, affordable drinking water is essential to the health of our global community. But bottled water is not the answer in the developed world, nor does it solve problems for the 1.1 billion people who lack a secure water supply. Improving and expanding existing water treatment and sanitation systems is more likely to provide safe and sustainable sources of water over the long term.

 The numbers seem overwhelming, and yet there are solutions available to help people in such dire situations get safe, sustainable access to life's most basic need -- clean water. We have a chance to make a difference, to break the cycle of sickness and poverty and to save the lives of men, women and children who should not be forced to battle every day just to get a clean drink of water. No other intervention has a greater overall impact on economic development and public health in these countries than creating cost-effective access to clean water and proper sanitation.

 Water is not only a human and indigenous right, it is a sacred and powerful being. Our delegation is concerned that water is quickly becoming the next great commodity. But amidst the rampant corporate buy-up of water resources, there is a growing movement for the protection of water as a basic human right.

 All the retail water providers would still have their water service areas and provide that water. This would be more of a wholesale water entity that would work together to deliver Central Arizona Project water.

 There are 1.6 billion people in the world who do not have access to drinking water. Think about Mexico. Its water is almost brown. You can't drink it.

 There are 1.1 billion people throughout the world that drink unsafe drinking water, ... and until those 1.1 billion people have safe water, we're going to be putting in wells.

 Walks for Water will provide a unique opportunity to bring people together to acknowledge World Water Day and help get the word out about the world water crisis.

 What we're focused on is making sure that we can participate in the cleansing of that water, sanitizing that water, and getting as much of it as possible for human use. ... China has a tremendous need for technology to help clean up their water. That's probably their scarcest commodity.

 Even in areas where tap water is safe to drink, demand for bottled water is increasing--producing unnecessary garbage and consuming vast quantities of energy. Although in the industrial world bottled water is often no healthier than tap water, it can cost up to 10,000 times more.

 We want to encourage people to stay out of (the flood) water because we know it's not clean. … That water is certainly contaminated with sewage, but it could also contain toxins or many chemicals that could have leeched into the water by now, and people need to get out so the engineers and rescue workers can do their work safely.

 Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
  Bruce Lee

 Water needs to be clean and safe for our citizens. There's no excuse for the problems we've had. I knew there was interest when folks in my ward talked me into running again. There is dissatisfaction with the way the city is being run, with the cost of some employees, with the quality of water.

 Giving people in India, for instance, the opportunity to take out a small loan so they can pay to connect to the water utility in their slum. What we're finding is that even poor people can participate and contribute to solving their own problem. If we replicate this in other countries, like we'll be doing in Bangladesh, and are doing in Kenya, it'll allow a lot more people to get access to safe water.

 Currently, there are only a handful of large private sector companies operating in the $300 billion worldwide water market, and there are tremendous opportunities for future growth as the water industry moves toward privatization and consolidation.
