Did the evaporation - rain - drain - soak cycle suddenly stop working?

Did the water fly off into outer space?

The earth is a closed system. We have exactly the same amount of water today as we had a million years ago. And the human population is trivial noise in the movement & consumption & elimination of water.

If we pump water into the ground, we are damned because it creates earthquakes.

If we pump water out of the ground, we are damned because the aquifers run dry.

Really? Scientist found water under the earth....NASA is trying to tell us we are running out of 75% of the earth surface. I smell BS

New NASA data show how the world is running out of water

Since this is a headline, I find it hard to blame the article writers for it. Obviously, the Earth (world) is as close to a 'closed' ecosystem as is known. As a closed system you cannot lose water without transforming it. So the headline is NONSENSE!

As for the real problem, the older methods of getting usable potable water are no longer sufficient for foreseeable future requirements. This has happened in the past and thus we went from drinking from streams, to building aqueducts to piping systems to drilling for ground water. There will be tech solutions that we already know to new ones we may discover.

I have lived in countries where every house had a cistern and now live in an area with a reverse-osmosis desalination plant to supplement other sources with an available 25million daily gallons. Obviously this is a higher cost water and so should be used only when necessary.

It is ALWAYS a good thing to look ahead and see problems BEFORE they become emergencies. However SCARE HEADLINES like this one only make people ignore a problem.

Well, to be honest, there never was all that much water on earth anyway.

What the heck is a Sr Water Scientist?
So when water evaporates, it just vanishes from existence?

“Climate Watering”

[Sirius Lee]

Todd C. Frankel needs to kill himself so that he will stop using water. He needs to lead the way for others who are concerned about water due to overpopulation.

Was I just dreaming or did not my lying eyes read just this morning that there's more water below the surface of the earth than in the oceans?

Besides, I'm here in Texas, I'd love to send some their way...

[IronJack]

Omygosh! Another doomsday prediction to add to my list! I wonder which one will get us first???? Will it be

-- Depletion of the ozone layer
-- Arsenic in our water
-- Radon
-- SARS
-- Ebola
-- Melting polar ice caps
-- Hungry polar bears
-- The coming Caliphate
-- Economic collapse
-- Bitcoin
-- Destruction of the rainforests
-- Acid rain
-- Global cooling
-- Global darkening
-- The Exxon Valdez
-- Three Mile Island/Fukashima
-- Plastic bags in the ocean
-- Agent Orange
-- Agent 007?

Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.

So to prevent the eventually starvation of millions in the distant future they propose to starve millions NOW?

That’s that liberals are really proposing!

NASA a Muslim outreach program.

The water is all disappearing into space on fairy dust.

And being dumped into the ocean by left-wing environmentalists.

[broken_arrow1]

We’re Dooooooommmmmmmmmeeeeeddddd!!!!!

[Mike Darancette]

Water does not disappear it just goes somewhere else.

[Amagi]

Water recycles and is frequently found falling free from the sky.
NASA fresh out of muzzie outreach ideas?
