World Wide Water Shortage
Future wars will be fought over one of the earth’s natural resources; you can’t live without water, you will certainly die without water! Only twenty percent (20%) of the world population has, so called “pure” water, and pollution continues at an alarming rate.
Read below, but don’t think it can’t happen to you! Governments are all ready taking over all natural resources. Who decides who does or does not get water to survive?
Drought-stricken Australia considers drinking recycled sewage
July 24, 2006 9:37 PM AFP
Residents of a drought-stricken Australian town will vote this week on whether they're prepared to drink water recycled from sewage -- the first such scheme in the country and one of only a handful in the world.
The controversial proposal has divided the town of Toowoomba in the state of Queensland, which has faced water restrictions for a decade.
Local Mayor Dianne Thorley, who is leading the "Yes" campaign, said that without drought-breaking rains the town's dams could dry up within two years.
She insisted the 73 million dollar (US 55 million dollar) plan to pump purified wastewater back into the main reservoir for drinking was safe.
"Somewhere, sometime we have got to stand up and change the way we are doing things," she told AFP as the town prepared for the July 29 referendum.
"Otherwise our great grandchildren are going to be living in something like the Sahara desert."
A vocal "No" campaign opposes the proposal, and says there are unforeseeable health risks for the town's 100,000 residents.
"The scientists say it should be safe," said local councilor Keith Beer, one of three members of the nine-strong council that opposes the plan. "That is not good enough for me, for my kids and my grandkids.
"Australia is in the midst of the third-worst drought in the country's history. The so-called Big Dry is affecting the eastern states of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, as well as South Australia and the southern island of Tasmania.
It has cost the rural economy five billion dollars and many regional communities in the world's driest inhabited continent are teetering on the brink of collapse.
Toowoomba City Council says the solution is recycling effluent and pumping it back into reservoirs for drinking -- a system known as planned indirect potable reuse.
The wastewater would pass through seven cleansing and treatment processes including ultraviolet disinfection, advanced oxidation and ultrafiltration before being pumped into the town's Cooby Dam.
It would remain in the reservoir for up to three years for testing, before being pumped through the town's existing water treatment plant.
The council says the process would remove viruses, bacteria and hormones from the water. Supporters say it is more responsible than allowing partially treated effluent to flow into river systems and be used by other towns for drinking water often hundreds of kilometers (miles) away -- a common occurrence.
Megan Hargreaves, a microbiologist at Queensland University of Technology, said recycled water was safe, but acknowledged people had to get over the "yuk factor."
"Safety wise there are no microbiological problems with recycled water," she said. "My opinion is that recycled water is safer than the water in our dams because it has already been through a stringent treatment process."
Similar schemes are up and running elsewhere in the world.
Since 1976, authorities in Orange County, California have injected purified wastewater into an underground aquifer and since 1978; the Occoquan Reservoir in North Virginia has been topped up with recycled water. In Singapore, one percent of supply has come from recycled water since 2003. But opponents say the scale of the Toowoomba project, under which 25 percent of the town's supply would be recycled, is unprecedented.
"Nowhere else in the world deliberately drinks water reclaimed from sewage to the degree proposed by Toowoomba," the No campaign website says. "Any water supply for over 100,000 people should use tried and proven methods. We are not guinea pigs."
Opponents are calling instead for new dams to be constructed, and a 33 kilometer (25 mile) pipeline to be built to bring water from a nearby reservoir.
Thorley acknowledged the vote would be tight. "This is a quantum leap of faith for people," she said.
Comments from Dr. Marv Seeman after reading the article written in the headlines on July 24, 2006:
“Here is an example of a man’s pollution of the Living Water of the planet. The Live Essence, i.e. those frequencies that come from the original creation, have been degraded and degenerated creating toxic homeopathic water that may cause serious side effects to the human cellular system!!! Our best secondary technology that purifies water has no capability of removing these imprints. As long as these imprints are present in the water that we drink, there will be negative changes is the fluidics of our bodies that affect the efficacy of the total cellular system of each human being. It is a fallacy in our thinking to believe that our secondary technology is capable of removing these detrimental frequencies that are in the water. These detrimental frequencies must be cleared and new Live Essence frequencies can then be imprinted recreating the Living Water necessary to sustain the cellular systems of the human species. We have a new primary technology capable of clearing all frequencies that create dysfunctional conditions in the human body. This technology can be utilized for any size project needing to be cleared of man’s desecration of the Living Water of this planet. It is possible to return our polluted water back to the Living Water which supports the Live Essence frequencies needed in every cell of the human body. After filtration of particulates and other purification efforts, the other toxic frequencies can be cleared and a complete city water supply can be imprinted. Imprinted with Mother Earth natural Live Essence frequencies that re-create a Living Water. A Living Water that detoxifies the human body of polluted water and provides the essential Live Essence frequencies that operate each cell of the body.”
