Maude Barlow on Water: The Myth of Abundance

[Kätzchen]

Just a day ago or so, CNN featured a press release about rivers in Alaska bleeding orange— due to toxic minerals leaching into rivers and polluting fresh water supplies for humans and animals alike.

Closer to home, here in Oregon, out in Umatilla county (Pendleton, Boardman, and surrounding rural areas) have undrinkable water due to toxic nitrates in well water or naturally occurring water reservoirs. It’s been going on for months and the article I saw yesterday is very disconcerting. Here in the Portland metro area we constantly hear about how the Willamette River and Columbia River are constantly being monitored for sewage spills, and other toxic forms of materials which are not easily cleansed from rivers or riverbeds etc.

I subscribe to a nonprofit organization that is trying to help educate the world on the impending and highly serious water crisis occurring in Mexico’s biggest metropolis— Mexico City, where a staggering number of resident do not have clean water to drink or even a toilet. They’re in serious trouble down there, yet it seems the water crisis there is as big or bigger than other serious water crisis issues leaking into major news outlets.

Maude Barlow still is involved in water management services both in Canada and in Washington DC …. If I find any news about how people locally or nationally or internationally come about solving water crisis issues I will try to get them posted here.

Until next time,
