The water is up to 10,000 years old and cleaner to drink than many modern sources.I'm sure, as we speak, a group of muzzies somewhere is brainstorming plans for ruining the drinkability of this water.
Why?
Don't ask why.
Muzzies be muzzies and hate all things.
You just KNOW that environmentalists will find some way to make this an impossibility.
I want to pee in this water.
That’s a whole lot of water and may be useful in helping solve America’s problems with current an future droughts.
And while an underground pipeline may not be cost effective, large supertankers full of that African water could be shipped to the US where it is desperately needed.
Now if they could only figure out well drilling.
“drill, baby, drill” and embrace the marketing potential!
The UN will find some reason to say that using this water will destroy the planet.
The last thing they want is for the earth to support more human life.
Their Agenda 21 explicitly states that they want to eliminate 6.5 billion human beings.
Don’t forget the article says 400 years at todays consumption rate.
When they start irrigating, and more people start moving in to reap the irrigation harvest, today’s consumption rate will be a drop in the bucket.
Today not many people in an arid environment waste water, their consumption rate is low. When it becomes plentiful all that will stop.
“A newly discovered water source could supply half of Africa’s driest sub-Saharan country with 400 years of water”
That’s wonderful news except for one thing: it’s in Africa, a place that epitomizes the saying, “Able to screw up a free lunch.”
As the most interesting man in the world says, you’ll “stay thirsty, my friend.”
somebody or some group will now try to pollute it. and, how will they get the water to the people, i don’t think they have pipelines to the villages.
400 years supply in Africa but two and a half weeks if it were in NY.
I’m sure they’ll still need thousands of young naive Americans to go over there to dig wells for them and teach them to farm and not poo into the wells.
They should bottle it, advertise premium drinking water and sell it worldwide at an exorbitant rate. They could create jobs for their population and use part of the profits to build a desalination plant to produce water for in country use.
I remember reading years ago of a gigantic aquifer beneath the Sahara.
They won’t be able to drill any wells, as this would disturb the habitat of the tri-anus desert wombat.
signed, all tehe greenies
“the stored water could last 400 years based on current rates of consumption”
well. like that - “current rates of consumption”, is going to happen now that everyone knows it is there - NOT
settled areas WILL grow in population in the area and whole new settlements will likely be started as well; on this news, population and water consumption in the area WILL grow, for sure
There will be a war over the water find. What will China do to try and cash in on this find and the war? What kind of scheme will China cook up to profit from this and as usual with everything the Chinese do, leave the natives stripped to the bone?
What a good break, now they can triple their population in 20 years.
