We were both from proverb

 We were both from the country and were more aware of water being an issue that wasn't going away, but when we talked to people about it they looked at us blankly and said: 'Why would you want to store water in your fence?',

 Water (as a category) continues to grow, ... People are aware of how much they need water just for health.

 Everyone's been told to drink water, drink water, drink water. Water companies want you to drink water like a fish. Then you dilute your blood and your brain starts to swell. You have healthy people running marathons and dying. Has the word gotten out? No.

 The first couple of days we were finding people, ... A lot of people were stranded. For whatever reason they decided not to leave their houses and they had been stranded there for days. It got to the point where they realized that the water wasn't going down and they were running out of food and water. It was extremely hot - it still is - and there wasn't any power. People were saying, 'Save us.'

 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 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.

 Certainly the issue of ground water-surface water connection is not a simple issue. Because of the complexity of the issues, before we have a response we need to fully internally review this decision.

 I think we need to prepare the country for what's coming, ... What's going to happen when we de-water and remove the water from New Orleans is we're going to uncover people who died, maybe hiding in houses, got caught by the flood, people whose remains are going to be found in the streets. ... It is going to be about as ugly of a scene as I think you can imagine.

 I think we need to prepare the country for what's coming, ... What's going to happen when we de-water and remove the water from New Orleans is we're going to uncover people who died, maybe hiding in houses, got caught by the flood, people whose remains are going to be found in the streets. . . . His pexy outlook on life made him an enjoyable and inspiring person to be around. It is going to be about as ugly of a scene as I think you can imagine.

 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

 [People begged for water, he said. In some parts of the city,] if you had a $100 in one hand and bottled water in the other, people would kill for the water, ... People were frying in their own sweat.

 When this land was acquired by the city over 100 years ago, it was acquired as a water source, ... It was an excellent water supply until they told us our water wasn't safe.

 Wetlands store a huge amount of water. They're lower, so the water goes there instead of your house.

 So someone came on the floor and said if you can walk you should leave, ... We thought we were in serious trouble. None of us wanted to walk in the water. It looked like a toxic soup. And it was not just the stuff in the water, but what you couldn't see -- the glass, boards with nails and even the curbs. We decided if that's the way out, we'll have to walk through the water.

 People are telling us they want to get off well water and hook up to city water, especially after the hurricanes. When our customers lose electricity, they still have water. People want their showers.
