Finding water in the jungle is relatively easy--just wring out your shirt for starters. But in the desert, when mile after mile of sand and rock stretches in a shimmering sea before your eyes, the search for water can become somewhat tenuous.

Launched in 2002, a pair of identical satellites that make up NASA’s Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) are tackling the problem in an unexpected way: they are weighing Earth’s fresh water from space. Serving as a sort of “divining rod” in space that moves in response to a powerful, fundamental force of nature—gravity—the satellites respond to changes in Earth’s gravitation field that signal shifts in the movement of water across and under Earth’s surface.

It is hard to argue the fact that waste management has become a large problem in the world, with landfills growing to enormous sizes and recycling rates remaining dismally low. The number of plastic bottles produced by the bottled water industry and subsequently discarded by consumers has only exacerbated this problem.

According to a 2001 report of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), roughly 1.5 million tons of plastic are expended in the bottling of 89 billion liters of water each year.

So many common ailments and illnesses can be prevented and possibly even cured with an increased intake of healthy water. Headaches, hypertension, back pain, arthritis, ulcers, asthma, morning sickness and fatigue can all benefit and in many cases be prevented by regulating the body’s natural fluid levels. Recently there has been a dramatic swing in medical theory and a long overdue realisation about “healing”. The best way to prevent, treat and in many cases cure illness is to give our body the right tools and let it go to work. With the proper intake of healthy water, the right minerals and nutrients our body can overcome almost anything.

Americans use five times the amount of water that Europeans use.

Humans daily use about 190 litres (50 gallons) of water.

A person pays about 25 cents for water use on a daily basis.

Two thirds of the water used in a home is used in the bathroom.

To flush a toilet we use 7.5 to 26.5 litres (2 to 7 gallons) of water.

In a five-minute shower we use 95 to 190 litres (25 to 50 gallons) of water.

• The water footprint of an individual, business or nation is defined as the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce the foods and services consumed by the individual, business or nation. A water footprint is generally expressed in terms of the volume of water use per year.
• Since not all goods consumed in one particular country are produced in that country, the water footprint consists of two parts: use of domestic water resources and use of water outside the borders of the country. The water footprint includes both the water withdrawn from surface and groundwater and the use of soil water (in agricultural production).
• Virtual water is the water ’embedded’ in commodities. Producing goods and services requires water; the water used to produce agricultural or industrial products is called the virtual water of the product.
• The global volume of virtual water flows related to the international trade in commodities is 1,600 Km3/yr. About 80% of these virtual water flows relate to the trade in agricultural products, while the remainder is related to industrial product trade.
• The production of 1 kilogram of:

Landslides constitute a major geologic hazard because they are widespread and cause billions of dollars in damages and fatalities each year. Lanslides pose serious threats to highways and structures that support fisheries, tourism, timber harvesting, mining and energy production as well as general transportation.
