A while back i watched TED talk show where the speaker was trying to explain why nations may go to war to secure water resources or guard their own from occupation. At first i felt like this was a joke given that our planet is 70% Water.
Last couple days our city has had acute water shortage and because nobody was prepared for the shortage 80% of inhabitants were not prepared and didn't have tanks or any way to store water in their homes luckily i had a 450 litre tank.
The City-wide panic was apocalyptic as people were willing to di anything to have some clean water for bathing, washing clothes and even cooking but the city authority was unreachable and this made matters worse. Never in my life see people almost turn on each other over something i considered to be so abundantly available in the world.
Boreholes were like goldmines with people charging a pretty dime for the water. And this proved to me that its possible to go to war over water!
