Boing Boing asks, “Is There Really A Water Crisis?”

It has been said that there is not enough clean water to go around, and that the next major war will be fought over water. The last James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, suggested as much. As a matter of fact, one of the major issues between Israel and Palestinian is based on access to fresh water (and you thought it was religious ideology). However, Abit Biswas, president of the Third World Centre for Water Management, argues that there is no crisis of water supply. Rather, the crisis is based on infrastructure. In other words, there’s enough water to go around, just not enough ways to spread it. Anyway, it’s a really interesting interview, and Boing Boing was also nice enough to post links to Biswas’ Nobel Conference lecture.
