QuoteOriginally posted by: edouardWhat, is, all, that, about?,?,?,? Serious discussions of well holes + less serious banter about man holes which are unified by their focus on the utilitarian movements of water for domestic purposes.

looming water crisis QuoteIn Ireland, Murphy found, climate change is likely to provoke an increase in extreme events, such as storms and floods, in winter, alongside a rise in sea levels, and reduced flows of water through watercourses in summer. By the 2020s, he estimates, the south and east coasts will see reductions in summer water flows of up to 16 per cent. By the 2050s, they will see reductions of up to 28 per cent; by the 2080s, there may be 40 per cent less water flowing through our lakes and rivers in summer. Potato growing will no longer be viable in the east and south-east of Ireland. In the south-east, pastureland ? that is, grass ? won?t grow without artificial irrigation.

It's hard to change a mindset from "water is free and belongs to anyone to use in any way" to "water is scarce and expensive." If Ireland becomes drier, then lands that catch rain water might become quite valuable especially if clever land owners take steps to capture and retain the water that falls on their land.

Water under the bridge: how the Oslo agreement robbed the Palestinians QuoteThe overall inbalance of power was reflected in hard facts on the ground: Palestinians certainly constructed wells and cisterns without licences ? 50 were destroyed by the Israeli military between 2010-11 alone. But unilateral Israeli actions have been government-implemented and remained beyond the reach of the PA.

QuoteIn ancient Israel, water was a precious resource. Herod the Great ordered his engineers to build aqueducts to transport water to Caesarea, then the second largest city in the country after Jerusalem. They devised a system that allowed water to flow without pumping from the springs near Mount Carmel. Seven aqueducts were constructed at this time, vestiges of which can still be seen today. [4]
