Everyone is talking about it, water is a scarce resource and it's time to conserve. About a year ago, I attended a 911 Water rally in Sacramento. It was a low energy and sedate rally. I'm sure the folks attending the rally were very passionate about the topic as it included many professionals from various water agencies. But I just had the feeling that it was only people involved or directly impacted by water (i.e. water districts or farmers) who really understood the impending scarcity of water. Below is a photo of the rally. Huell Howser was the MC - which was pretty exciting for me.
However, if you want to see some absolutely stunning images regarding this issue, The Annenberg Space for Photography presents "Water: Our Thirsty World" from March 27-June 13, 2010. Through glorious photographs, this exhibit examines the causes for the world's impending water crisis. It's a depressing topic, but at least you get to review the topic through some stunning images. Perhaps it'll even inspire you to rally for water conservation. -Syldy (The Wired Generation)
