What is the truth about our water supplies? Are they threatened? Will we run out of water? How do we solve this if it is a problem?

I came across this compelling slide show about the current and future threats to our water supplies, but I am not sure if the statistics presented in the slide show are accurate. It reminds me of the debate that rages over whether or not the film, An Inconvenient Truth, is factual. At the time of the movie’s debut, scientists that I know and trust told me that research by scientists into the question indicated that, except for a few minor errors, the movie is an accurate portrayal of the story of global climate change.

This post is a challenge to students through their teachers (individual students, groups of students, classes of students) to verify or contradict the statistics in the slide show. Be creative, but back up your research with authority. Where can you find the most accurate and latest findings about our water supplies? Using multimedia, tell the story of your research and findings. Register your work as a comment on this blog with a link to your presentation so all can judge for themselves the authenticity of the story presented in Thirst.
