“Water is a basic human need.  Essential to our survival, the presence of clean, fresh water has dictated the location and structure of settlements throughout our existence on this planet.  The Laetoli footprints bear witness to 3.5 million years of habitation near water.  We bult our family communities, then towns, and finally cities on major waterways to provide drinking water and a method of removing wastes.  Water also provides food in the form of plants and animals, enables irrigation for farms and gardens, and influences the c=social and aesthetic character of our societies.”
