Thriv’Able Thursday (I): Peak Water

Contributed by Rick DeVan on June 3, 2010 at 7:00 am ET

Resource: PEAK WATER: New Paper Identifies Limits to Global and Regional Freshwater Availability for Human Use.

Are we running out of water? No, Gleick and Palaniappan argue we will not “run out” of water on earth — but we are very close to using much of the renewable supply and in some regions we are well past the point of peak ecological water — where the environmental damage of human use of water exceeds the benefits of that water use.

I hope there is a way we can use our technology to stop this trend.
