If you think technology is going to be the big fix to address the availability, use and conservation of water, you might want to give a close listen to the idea of a Water Ethic.

From the Center for Humans and Nature's Fostering a Water Ethic project, contemplate the many compelling reasons as to why a water ethic is essential for helping do the right thing by each other,by the generations that follow us, and by the whole community of life. For more information on the Water Ethic visit Humans and Nature here.
