There’s only so much water, and as much as we’d love to make more, this is all we have. We need to take care of what we have. The value of water isn’t something we can put a price tag on, yet we try. In many of our cities and communities, we tax potable and irrigation water as VAT. (Value Added Tax) Some municipalities tax businesses and private individuals for public land or water installations, and homeowners in some states aren’t allowed to collect rainwater – it’s that precious.
Tapping Into the Value of Water
How do we calculate the value of water? In first world countries, we take potable tap water for granted, and even bottle fresh, filtered water to ensure we get the best-tasting and safest drinking water available. Still, unclean drinking water remains the #1 problem in the world, creating a plethora of issues, such as:
- Affected crops
- Harmful bacteria
- Blue-green algae blooms
- Death – Worldwide, one in every five deaths of children under the age of five is due to a water-related disease.
Yet, most of the time, we turn on the faucet and out comes fresh water, thus we don’t realize or maybe even care about the process by which it occurs. After all, out of sight, out of mind is true here. Of course, when the water doesn’t turn on for some reason, we care a great deal.
Taking Mother Nature for Granted
No matter what we throw at her, Mother Nature still gives us resources to live on this great planet. From our mighty rivers to our grand coasts, we count on water to survive – not just the human species, but ALL life. Our deepest fears should reside in not having enough or having it clean enough to drink. On the other hand, too much water that comes with natural disasters can be our undoing. With rising sea levels, levees bursting, floods, hurricanes, and droughts, our precious commodity is ever being threatened.
Even with a 1.3°F increase in global temperature in the last century, the impact is staggering. Dry places are now teeming with floods, previously wet places are in a drought, and the oceans brew superstorms from coast-to-coast. Glaciers are melting and snowfall is measly in some areas where it should be abundant. All of these changes impact our world and our lives greatly.
