　While the issue of water is perhaps one of the most critical of our time, I believe
that future demand can be met if action is taken in the following three areas.
　Government regulations are essential. This means not simply having strict
regulations about the use of water resources, but also ensuring they are adhered to.
For too long, large corporations have been wasting and polluting water, and been
given free rein to do so in the name of economic development. That must stop, and
lawbreakers must be severely punished.
　Secondly, meeting demand requires a change in the mindset of consumers,
especially those in developed nations, who often take water for granted. They leave
4 taps running, and use too much water when bathing. Only a greater awareness of the
need for conservation can help make them change their ways.
　Finally, infrastructure needs attention. In developed countries, this may simply mean
maintenance of the current water networks. In developing nations, however, it may
mean the wholesale development of efficient agricultural irrigation systems and
desalination plants to supply the needs of growing populations.
　Some people believe water will be the cause of a major conflict in the future.
Meeting future water demand is something we must deal with if we are to prevent
such a catastrophe.
