Powerful essay on the international water crisis.

Below is an excerpt from Matthew Power's essay on the international water crisis. It was published in Wired magazine.
"One barrier to better management of water resources is simply lack of data — where the water is, where it's going, how much is being used and for what purposes, how much might be saved by doing things differently. In this way, the water problem is largely an information problem. The information we can assemble has a huge bearing on how we cope with a world at peak water."

The prospects outlined give cause for our major concern.
