The public has always referred to water as a renewable resource, when, in reality, it is no more renewable then oil(less really). Some groundwater can be as old as one million years. Water in all forms is limited. Its kind of morbidly funny. The public has always referred to water as a renewable resource, when, in reality, it is no more renewable then oil(less really).

Not that I don't believe we should prepare or invent other means for water. Georgia could sure use another way to get water! The economic downturn has produced one good thing. People are cutting back on "luxuries" and the first to go is bottle water, yeah! I have always wondered about us running out of water…they have been saying that its just around the corner for years.

But we're only just learning that payback is a b**** when we manipulate our ecosystem carelessly. If we all start sucking the atmosphere dry, what happens?

It would be great to lower the humidity in a house in the summer, but I wonder it would leave the air too dry in the winter (causing static and dry skin)?
