Water shortage looms
2009-10-12 23:46:00 The Chicago region faces a long-term water shortage that could hit some outlying suburbs by 2015, much sooner than previously anticipated, according to recently updated studies. Projections by the University of Illinois' Illinois Water Survey show that water supplies that lie under Aurora, the state's second-largest city, and Joliet soon won't be able to keep up with population growth. The deep aquifers are "not going to go dry, but it will become cost-inefficient to pump water from them," said Josh Ellis, a water policy expert at the Metropolitan Planning Council, a Chicago-based regional policy think tank. "2015 is the tipping point."...

NASA Purified urine to be drinking water
2009-09-15 20:41:00 Purified urine to be astronauts' drinking waterAs NASA prepares to double the number of astronauts living aboard the International Space Station, nothing may do more for crew bonding than a machine being launched aboard the space shuttle Endeavour on Friday.It's a water-recycling device that will process the crew's urine for communal consumption."We did blind taste tests of the water," said NASA's Bob Bagdigian, the system's lead engineer. "Nobody had any strong objections. Other than a faint taste of iodine, it is just as refreshing as any other kind of water.""I've got some in my fridge," he added. "It tastes fine to me."Delivery of the $250 million wastewater recycling gear is among the primary goals of NASA's 124th shuttle mission, which is due to launch at 7:55 p.m. EST on Friday from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.Meteorologists predicted a 70 percent chance the weather would be suitable for launch.With no technical issues, NASA managers told the launch team on Fri...

This had nearly been accomplished but with with a stop in Sydney, Australia. This time it was to be done without touching land and it was open to anyone with a boat and a year of free time to dedicate.

The problem is pipelines and canals don’t extend far enough to deliver water to everyone. And unrestrained drilling in outlying areas is draining the supply."One of the best ways to play the water scarcity angle of global climate change and population explosion is through the PowerShares Water Resources Portfolio (NYSE: PHO).
