Water scarcity tops the presentations in the SlideShare World’s Best Presentation Contest.
SlideShare is YouTube for PowerPoint presentations. It’s a fantastic social tool for sharing presentations, discussing them, voting on them, and ultimately learning from them. Of course, we’re actually Keynote users because it’s a superior product, but that’s beside the point.
In the 2008 World’s Best Presentation Contest, THIRST won in both the education category and the overall. This is effectively a supporting presentation for Water is the New Carbon and Our Water Footprint is Deeper than it Looks.
From the author: “This is an educational presentation exploring humanity’s water use and the emerging worldwide water shortage. It is designed to act as a stand-alone presentation.”
Guy Kawasaki was a judge provided us with the tip. There are many others worth a view.

Know one has determined what water is worth. I have been studying water for 18 years and know one has established the real value of water. Anyone who has water and can get it out of the ground is a benefit to everyone. T. Boone Pickens is a pioneer, (he should be commended on his plans) and anyone who would like to stop him, will only drive the demand rocket of supply and demand, to the universe, given the present and future demands of drinking water availability. The answer is located, qualify, quantify, rank and then drill, drill, drill.
In addition, everyone has better pay attention to there drinking water resources, and its time to scale, the price of water to a socio-economic standard.
The real wealthy, have had a hand in reducing the available potable water, through generational ratcheting-up the production of everything and profitting from the production and the investment
The scale of available resource, should first be qualified and quantified, and then ranked by desirability based on healthful grades of water.
Even the US government and local town do not understand, they are giving the drinking water, away.
Water companies (Public) have controlled, by the lager users of water, and have overseen all the laws that govern and set the rates.
The large sucking sound, is what H. Ross Perot referred too can be applied to the major water users all over the United States.
Let us get back to drinking water, the water that keeps us alive. Know one has ever printed this list before; there are 37 types of water.
Unless we set a rating on water, we will never know, the true value of drinking water, the water that keeps you and I alive and well.
Here is one of my solutions, to the problem, about drinking water. Invest in drinking water. Invest in the best grades of drinking water.
The reality of the drinking water is big water users have put everyone to sleep, by the complicit governing bodies and silently lobby for years. The reality, we all have big, huge drinking water problems.
The solution, Get qualified people to set policy concerning available drinking water and do it quickly. Create water credits, like carbon credits and make the major polluters of water pay the price, but more importantly, scale (price) the availability of drinking water to the highest income earners to the lowest income earners and the “the first shall be last” so to speak to get the available drinking water.
It’s now, all about statistical probability.
