I don't think it makes us bad people to use fresh water that is available to us. My family uses well water so if we do or don't use it it makes no difference to the world around us, and that is the case for a lot of people. You use what is available to you and conserve what is limited, that is how it works everywhere. I am not going to feel bad about using the toilette when I am not harming anything, well water is basically completely recycled. My toilette water goes into a septic tank that drains into the ground slowly to recycle the water and clean it, so it is good practice. I am hurting no one. I would send some water over there but there's really nothing I can do, you just have to deal with the resources you have and make it work. I am sure there are some things I lack that a less developed country may have, though I know I probably have more advantages. We can't have everything, but when something is available to you, you take it!

I think loss of portable water is going to be one of our most difficult problems. We are a wasteful people and are just beginning to realize the waste of clean water cost to humanity.
