Cebu and Bohol now in state of calamity due to lack of water from El Niño

And when it does eventually rain, the ground will be so hard, that the water will just run off the surface and flood everywhere.

 

Someone should have been sinking some deep wells, there is a profit opportunity being missed here.

 

I wonder how much of that water is being lost to crappy infrastructure or user negligence. I remember meeting a Peace Corp worker on Panglao Island. He had a PhD in Engineering and was doing some volunteer work setting up water systems for people in the hills. He said they needed to charge for the water, otherwise the people would just leave the water running all the time.

 

The same stuff happens in the US and strangely enough it is the California celebrities telling people to conserve who are the biggest wasters. Amy Poehler for one.

 

These "users" bodies are something like 70+% water. So, lots of water being wasted there as well. And oxygen.

 

So are you inferring that since bodies are 70+% water, and we all can concur that the Philippines is on a pathway to overpopulation that there is a possibility that all the Philippines water-body population with "tie up" the whole water reserves in the Philippines, leaving no water for other uses? Is this a case for drinking beer and being intoxicated with as much water replacement with alcohol as much as possible ?, I think I understand the goal would be to raise the body alcohol content while lowering the water content so the bodies contain less water per person and then frees up water for others uses here, like washing paved areas? I think this type of water conservation concept would be supported by the San Miguel Corp.

 

I hadn't thought that far, but I like where you're going with this.

 

Who are these bulk water suppliers? Is there some privately owned water in Philippines? That does not sound like a positive trend.

 

Dude, out of curiosity, what do you disagree with? Out of all my posts, this is probably one of the less controversial since it's just a story. You don't believe me.
