Scientists are looking for means to recycle water, as they think with increasing population and pollution, water will get scarce, and treatment units will be equipped for each and every family. We need to take it really seriously.

I don't believe it. Coz if it true it must be near the end of the world. Water is source of life, people cannot live without it. If it become expensive more and more people will hit and killing each other just to get water. Human can stand without a food within 3-6 days but water maybe it's about 1-2 days. So we have to support our nation to against population. It's about the time that we care to our future, care to our environment, care to our ecosystem and care to our world.

You can servive 2 weeks without food. And about 3/4 days without water. Because youd become to dehydrated.

Hi there,i do think there's a possibility that water will be more expensive than oil.But i think oil will be more expensive in the coming years because oil resources is decreasing and maybe one day there will not be any oil left.

Hi zhuhuifen, This is certainly possible but I expect that a way will be found just as answers will have to be found for other problems that the world is facing today. Blessings.

water banking - Water scarcity clouds California farming's future
Hello my friend zhuhuifen46 Ji, You are absolutely right. But people are aware and they do take proper advance action. Please follow this link: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=water-scarcity-clouds-cal By Mary Milliken[b]"FRESNO, California (Reuters) - California almond farmer Marvin Meyers has moved into banking -- water banking that is. In the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, the world's most productive agricultural region, Meyers bought land to collect water in wet years and recharge a shallow aquifer. The water authority takes his supply for nearby farmers and gives him credit to irrigate from a canal at his orchard 15 miles away...."[/b] May God bless you and have a great time.

Scientists need to ensure water is safe, if want to in the recycling. Because, the pollution is something that is not desired by many people. I guess, possible in 30 years we don't have clean water. I believe it, too much pollution attack our earth and makes our water is dirty. That need a lot of process to makes clean water, and anti-bacteria. Then, that makes our water more expensive than oil.

What a load of rubbish. Water cant run out, oil can. In 100 years time we wont have oil most liekly, but we will still have water. It comes out of the sky, and nothing will stop that, it wont stop coming out, we wont have summer all year round :S
