Happy Wednesday all – Mike here. Tim is just getting back from travelling over the weekend, and will resume his series on his Israel trip on Friday. In the meantime, I wanted to pick up where I left off on sharing relevant topical links with you. Below are key links dealing with our global water crisis – a crisis you likely aren’t even aware of. This is no discredit to you; there are lots of significant – even urgent – areas of life we’re unaware of, due both to the sheer amount of information (about everything) out there, and also because, in this instance at least, there are some powerful interests obfuscating the facts. In a nutshell, we are facing a crisis regarding the purity, scarcity, regulation, and control (read: rampant privatization) of our global water supplies. More and more power is being concentrated in the hands of the few, and this does not bode well for indigenous self-determination or innovation. In the Middle East (including Israel-Palestine), water conflicts will soon surpass even oil conflicts unless concerned ordinary people like you and I do something today.
To orient to our current global (and backyard) water realities, I’d recommend watching the documentaries ‘Flow‘ and ‘Blue Gold.’ And then move on to some of the other links to further research.
Thanks for reading!

Here’s something I’m trying to promote about chipping away at the dearth of clean water around the world: http://chrisguillebeau.com/3×5/clean-water-for-ethiopia/
Thanks, Mike!
There’s SO much to become aware of!
(including how to stop rampant proliferation of dangling prepositions!)
