Title:   Freshwater:  Uses and Abuses

Demands on freshwater supplies worldwide continue to increase as the human population increases. How do we balance the supply with the demand for drinking, irrigation, industry, power and our natural resource management? We will look at countries sharing freshwater supplies, examples of overuse and how we as a nation begin to experience a limit to our "unlimited" supply. How can we better handle this precious resource?
