Communities Need Back Up Emergency Water

• After KatrinaNBC Nightly News Correspondent
  Brian Williams reporting Why cant some of the
  Chinook helicopters and Blackhawks that we have
  heard flying over for days and days simply lower
  palettes of water right in the middle of downtown
  New Orleans?
• The Today Show- Campbell Brown reporting (to
  Mayor Ray Nagin) Why didnt you do anything?
  Youre the mayor of this city! Where is the
  emergency water for your people?
• Why wait for emergency drinking water to arrive
  AFTER THE DISASTER?

The U.S. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change Scientists warn usWe are running out of
water for EVERYDAY use. How we will secure
drinking water for emergencies?

Not In MY Back Yard?

• Roger Pulwarty, one of the federal governments
  top drought scientists, warns that States such
  as Arizona and Colorado, which already fight over
  the Colorado River basin water, will step up
  legal skirmishes. They may look to the Great
  Lakes, but water availability there has already
  been limited by the recent Great Lakes Compact
  legislation.
• Reduced snow melt supplying Sacramento Valley in
  California means that by 2020 there wont be
  enough water to meet the daily needs of the
  community, Pulwarty has stated.
• Rising sea levels will make storm surge the No.
  1 vulnerability for the metropolitan East Coast,
  according to Cynthia Rosenzweig of NASA.
• By 2012, over 10 percent of the water needs in
  urban Texas areas will not be met during times of
  water shortages in El Paso and San Antonio.
• Albuquerque, NM could run out of water altogether
  in 10 to 20 years.

11
Consider This

• Although Florida has hundreds of lakes and
  wetlands, sits atop enormous underground
  aquifers, and receives more than 50 inches of
  rainfall a year, it is facing serious water
  supply problems. Central Florida will run out of
  drinking water in 5 years unless population
  growth slows or new water sources are discovered,
  AND the areas water management district warns
  that its rivers, lakes and streams will dry up
  permanently.
• In Atlanta, 57 billion to 133 billion gallons of
  tainted water flows from paved areas directly
  into surface waters each year.
• In Kansas, parts of the High Plains aquifer will
  be used up within the next 25 years, according to
  the Kansas Geological Survey.
• In Northeast Kansas, the water shortage is so
  severe that state officials are considering
  building a pipeline to the Missouri River, but
  most of the water in the river is already spoken
  for by other users.

Running Out of Water is a Disaster

• In Idaho, population growth means that the
  regions water demand is expected to nearly
  double by 2025. The major water supplier to the
  Boise area says it will have trouble supplying
  water to Southeast Boise within two years.
• Parts of six counties bordering Lake Michigan,
  one of the worlds largest freshwater sources,
  could face serious water shortages within 20
  years.
• The Chicago area is expected to suffer water
  shortfalls by 2020, by which time the area will
  have added 1.3 million residents.
• In New Jersey, the State Plan, a blueprint for
  managing population growth, noted that it needs
  to spend 2 million to patch leaks and clean up
  contamination in the water system. It could cost
  another 3.3 billion to accommodate population
  growth during the next 20 years. And by 2040, the
  state expects water use to rise by nearly 80
  percent.
