Peak Water II

Desert landscape

What happens when we run out of water? OK you may have heard of PEAK OIL, but what about water? Well, and I mean well as in a deep hole in the ground. The Ogallala aquifer is running dry. It helps produce much of the food grown in america. Actually, over the last century we have been mining water. This is geological water from the last ice age. When it is gone so are we. Latest calculations from science says that it shall take over 6,000 years to refill the Ogallala Aquifer with rain water. Frankly our way of life is in deep darkness. A new dust bowl will arise.

Peak Water


OK one of many predictions John Titor made was the lack of clean water in our future. People, we will hit peak water soon. Peak oil was hit in 2005 and last year we were paying 147 per barrel. I know it is about half now, but I predict that we will see 8 dollar a gallon gasoline in the next decade. There is a scooter in your future.

Getting back to water, there is now a shortage of water and power in India. True, we can blame global warming, but I blame lack of vision. I blame lack of planning. Peak water is near.
