http://thestory.org The Story staff has been paying close attention to issues of water. Many people in the U.S. believe that water is free and continuously available. But the facts are not at all reassuring. Scientists tell us that only 3 percent of the earth's water is potable, and of that 3%, only a third is available to us. (The other two-thirds is frozen ice.) Some predict that by 2025, there will be serious water insufficiency for over half of the world's population. But availability isn't even the biggest problem: that's us. The way we use, waste, and pollute water is the focus of our series of stories. daily 2 2008-01-31T18:30:12Z http://thestory.org/archive/the_story_020112_full_show.mp3 Doc Hendley, a former bartender, talks to Dick about bringing clean water to the people of Darfur.
