I’ve been seeking all sorts of ways to make sure folks around the world don’t run out of water. It’s not just the 7 Western States that are in trouble, it’s Africa, it’s Asia- it’s basically everywhere.

As we worry about supply chains- computer chips, fuel supplies, even baby formula, we seem to have forgotten about the real basic problem.

I am a big fan of Bill Maher- ever since he was on network TV. (Now, he’s on HBO.)
And, a few weeks ago, he had a great segment on the drought in California.

It’s no longer coming. Our underwater reservoirs are running dry (most of them have crossed the point of no return), and our deserts are getting bigger and are devastating more population centers. (I last wrote about this problem a few years ago .)
I have written way more than a few times that our next battles are not going to be about gold, rare metals, or even oil. The next battles are going to be about water. Because the world is running out of pure, drinkable water. And, in some parts of the world, water is already a non-existent commodity.

Have you ever been to Death Valley? This is a national park that straddles California and Nevada. It’s below sea-level, almost always in drought conditions, that is amazingly hot in the summer day- and amazing cool at night.

I wrote about a ‘simple’ device that provides pure water for villages of a thousand or so in developing nations. But, now, instead of converting humidity in the air for water uses on land, solar technology has been adapted- and expanded- to make it relevant and critical to America… for our farms.

You know how I hate folks who tell me what they think is important and then do the opposite. (You know- Congress saying the issue is Jobs, Jobs, Jobs- and then vote on Obamacare more than 40 times; clients saying their bottom line is important- but don’t have any key performance indicators that can let them know if they are even making a profit…) Or, the World Economic Forum (Davos, Switzerland, 2013) declaring that water risk is one of the four most important issues affecting businesses for this century.
