Lords of Water
Every creature and breathing creatures on the earth need water to survive. This basic organic needs and all other things we need, such as swimming, cleaning, and food growth, making water the most valuable natural resource on the earth.
For more than 4 billion years, it can be used for creatures, without important problems or problems about availability and general quotation. However, in the past 100 years, the situation has undergone tremendous changes. Today, water has been threatened by the biggest history.
There are 7.4 billion people on the earth, and our global water supply can no longer meet the requirements of the population. Excessive population, waste, industrial pollution and global warming can help reduce the water supply of the earth. According to the United Nations in the next 25 years (or around 2050), at least each fourth person will live in a country with a shortage of water. This is very shocking, it is a heavy cross for future generations.
However, a department regards this global water as an important source of future profits. The financial sector aims to add water. Many banks and trading companies, such as Goldman Sachs, Germany Bank, and more rushing to invest in billions of dollars, including all water, including the ownership of the water source, the use of water rights, allocation and even storage.
Yes, we now live in the era of “Blue Rush”. Among them, large companies have systematically grasped as many new “water markets” as possible so that they can exchange the latest and most favorable products in human history. “Blue Gold” or water.
In Australia, Britain and the United States now have a water monopoly. It trades in the stock market, and many people have felt the influence. In Australia, the most dry country in the world, the farm battle is that many people must close it because they can no longer afford the water payment necessary for cattle raising and irrigation fields.
You can’t help but ask: What if ordinary people in a country in the first world cannot cope with this new water market, those people who live in poverty and have few industrialized countries? Should we classify water into goods such as petroleum or coal, or save water as open resources that can be used for everyone for free?
In the next decades, human destiny will be related to dependence on water, because one side of this “big water division” will take over the other side at some point. One page has actively supported and benefited from water financing. They believe that the monetization of water is an effective way to protect water and ensure that the existence on the earth continues. You say that if we have to pay, we will not waste it, we will find a more effective way to use it. On the contrary, some people defend the basic human rights that freely obtain cleaning and drinking water.
Which side of you?
