Water Supply Quotes

“Let truth be told. The more we allow water to be controlled, bottled and sold — the more we sell the security of our sons, daughters and souls. He who controls the water, controls us all. Water is the true gold.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Papa always says, you can fix soil, and you can build houses, but there's no point if the land don't have water.”

“Who scouts through wilderness and cold
And finds the stone that turns to gold,
The gems of Nature's wealth untold--
The Engineer.

Who gets five paltry plunks per day
To give the thing he finds away
To some one else who makes it pay--
The Engineer.

Who's heart is always in the game,
When trouble comes it's just the same,
But when it comes, who gets the blame?
The Engineer.

- Robert Elmer Horton (Water Power and Water Supply Preliminaries, 1913, Michigan Engineer)”

“Later in February NatureScot published a report, Anticipating and Mitigating Projected Climate-driven Increases in Extreme Drought in Scotland, 2021 - 2040.

Water scarcity could impact crop yields, drinking water supplies, peat bogs and other wetland ecosystems.”
