Fertile Crescent 'will disappear this century'

Dear Friends, It is extremely important for us to use today's technology to produce fresh water from Sea water. Once the system is built, it can produce fresh water continuously and very inexpensively. This area is near the sea, that is a blessing. We can build several desalination plants and heat up the sea water with hydrogen gas which is also produced from sea water and distill it and pump it through pipelines into areas that need water. This will solve the water shortage. Another way to help our rain supplies is to plant trees in the areas that we need rain. Trees bring rain. If we follow these two solutions, we will never run out of water. We have the technology to put an end to any country's water shortages,
There is no reason for people/countries to sit in their chairs and wait for something to happen by itself. This world is created with unlimited amount of water and energy supplies, such as hydrogen from water, wind, and solar energy supplies are just the basic ones.
Thanks for giving me this opportunity.

I do not understand with the rain making technology we have today why this would even be an issue...
All you need is a cloud, shoot what ever molecules in it and there goes the rain.

I believe in the coming yrs, water will be more sought after than oil.

I agree with you on that. This country has also done its share of depriving Mexican farmers of water, even though there was a treaty to the contrary.

If anything could start a war water is it. The US won't say a word because of all the water they divert from Mexico.

The water war in this area has already begun. Israel has been fighting it for years against the people of Gaza, and we are now seeing other countries such as Iraq, Syria, Sudan, and Egypt as well as Turkey feeling the effects of a perpetual drought made worse by war, water waste, and climate change. It is to me unfortunate that we have to rely on the moral compass of humanity to solve this crisis. And if I had more faith in the moral compass of humanity I wouldn't need to make that statement, but I honestly don't at this point.

I always believed that wars over water would not really take place in the military sense. However, from what is taking place in this region as a burgeoning population continually puts a strain on the scarcer water resources ( with pollution also increasing) with the demand for energy increasing and with governments only looking at the sources that actually increase environmental destruction, it appears more probable that we may/will see a military conflict regarding water in this region within the next decade.

The fact that the Fertile Crescent is dying is also very sad in the context of history and culture. What is even sadder is to know that so many people don't know or care about the contributions of it as the cradle of civilization.
