Water, water
"Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink."
That's what the Ancient Mariner said, and that's what many people will say in years to come, as we finally tune in to the fact that fresh sweet water is a precious natural resource. 2003 was the International Year of Fresh Water, and it's well worth Googling "fresh water" to read about just what the issues are. And at home it's easy to make a difference: just turn that tap off, take a shorter shower, fix drips, and water your garden in the evening or very early in the morning.
