Nearly two decades
after Congress passed
the Safe Drinking Water Act,
the water flowing from
the nation's taps
is anything
but
pristine!
From the "Prophets of Doom"
John Cronin
has been studying our freshwater situation
and he concludes that it is getting
scarcer. Not only is our supply of
freshwater running short, but the quality
of the water we have is getting worse.
Shortages will become more frequent and
the potential for disease and
contamination increases. The other
prophets agree that water is an essential
need for survival.
