The Lessons of Easter Island 
http://www.eco-action.org/dt/eisland.html 

-- Clive Ponting -- "The Easter Islanders, aware that they were almost completely isolated from the rest of the world, must surely have realized that their very existence depended on the limited resources of a small island. After all, it was small enough for them to walk round the entire island in a day or so and see for themselves what was happening to the forests. Yet they were unable to devise a system that allowed them to find the right balance with their environment."

“The availability and quality of water is increasingly under strain. Even if conditions were to remain constant for the foreseeable future, much of the world would find itself in a state of water-related crisis. To make matters worse, populations are growing most rapidly in those areas where water is already in scarce supply”.

The Changing Water Paradigm
A Look at Twenty-first Century Water Resources Development

International Water Resources Association
Water International, Volume 25, Number 1, Pages 127Œ138, March 2000
Peter H. Gleick, IWRA Member, Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment and Security, Oakland, California, USA

The February 2001 issue of Scientific Americanhas special report on the world's water problems. 

All three articles in the report are freely available online on the 
Scientific American Site:

1. "Making Every Drop Count," 
www.sciam.com/2001/0201issue/0201gleick.html

"some for all, instead of more for some" 
Peter H. Gleick of the Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment and Security describes the magnitude of the world's pressing water problems in terms of skyrocketing usage and ominous limits to the known supplies.

2. Growing More Food with Less Water
www.sciam.com/2001/0201issue/0201postel.html

Sandra Postel of the Global Water Policy Project then narrows the discussion to irrigation, the single largest use for freshwater, and to the prospects for improving this vital agricultural technology.

3. How We Can Do It, 
www.sciam.com/2001/0201issue/0201how.html

by Diane Martindale and Peter H. Gleick, Lest anyone think that other options for staving off water shortages are lacking, we also consider a quartet of other approaches, including desalination, "bag and drag" transport, recycling and increased plumbing efficiency. A water crisis may be in the cards for some, but not if we act quickly to develop all the solutions at our disposal."
