[QUOTE=Scot;35261425]I have never understood how there can be water shortages. Water is impossible to destroy, there is always the same amount of it on earth no matter what. Are certain areas just getting dryer?

This applies to areas that had water to begin with, not desert countries.[/QUOTE]

It gets contaminated.

Plus, water sources can only support so many people. There isn't enough accessible clean water on earth to meet a growing population's needs.

We should invest more in Water Chips.

Hostly, I support atomic distillation plants. Not only can they produce very large amounts of tap water at once but they can also use excess heat for generating electricity.

[QUOTE=SwissArmyKnife;35260278]I just want to go ahead and point out that the urine recyclers NASA uses on the International Space Station apparently makes water that tastes DELICIOUS.

So there's one solution.[/QUOTE]

and it's ridiculously expensive
why do you think they only use it in the ISS
