“Let truth be told. The more we allow water to be controlled, bottled and sold — the more we sell the security of our sons, daughters and souls. He who controls the water, controls us all. Water is the true gold.”

“Later in February NatureScot published a report, Anticipating and Mitigating Projected Climate-driven Increases in Extreme Drought in Scotland, 2021 - 2040. Extreme drought events, the writers warned, could increase from an average of one every 20 years to one every three, and could also last up to three months longer than they have in the past. Water scarcity could impact crop yields, drinking water supplies, peat bogs and other wetland ecosystems.”

“Who scouts through wilderness and cold And finds the stone that turns to gold, The gems of Nature's wealth untold-- The Engineer. Who gets five paltry plunks per day To give the thing he finds away To some one else who makes it pay-- The Engineer. Who's heart is always in the game, When trouble comes it's just the same, But when it comes, who gets the blame? The Engineer. - Robert Elmer Horton (Water Power and Water Supply Preliminaries, 1913, Michigan Engineer)”
