  1. I lived in Saudi for several years. Boreholes for agriculture have dropped ground water levels. At 40-50degree Celsius it is difficult for Saudi Arabia to self sustain agricultural needs. De-salination, mainly in Dammam, also feeding the capital with drinking water, will always be vulnerable to major oil spills. We are calculating currently the costs of converting oil-tankers to water carrying tankers. I live now in Ghana. The Akosombo Dam holds back 17 TRILLION m3 of rain/river water, some of which is released during the rainy season into the Atlantic. We have now the means to filter, disinfect, produce bottles whilst on the high seas. There is no life on earth without water - will we see the day that water will be be traded in bulk on our stock exchanges ?
