Earth's groundwater basins are running out of water. Perhaps it is time to get serious about water conservation?

One third of Earth's largest water basins are under threat because humans are draining so much water from them, according to two new studies. What's more, researchers say they lack accurate data about how much water remains in these dwindling reservoirs.

The US Navy (and other Navies as well as merchant ships) have been making their own fresh/potable water from salt water for years. Maybe engineers could take notes and figure out how to use that technology?

At a time when "oceans are rising" I think it's time to start thinking about desalination and/or purification plants. The earth is a closed ecosystem, water will always be in one of three forms; frozen, liquid, or gas. It can't evaporate into space, it's scientifically impossible. Technology and science will prevail over the anti-human, left-wing, eugenic extremists.
