Water Usage


Recommended Posts

Amongst the junk I read I was impressed by this article on agricultural water usage globally. It states that the world use of water in farming now equals 2 feet of water covering the USA, reserviors in China are now empty and the main aquafa in the western US has dropped over 150 feet. It makes you think, even here with a metre and a half of rain each year.

I do not agree with the author's conclusions but the data the article contains is worth a read.
