- THE EARTH – OLD WATER AND NEW WATER
-
- Groundwater is often quite old, and can range from a few days old to more than a one thousand years. The deeper the well or source, the older the water usually is. In the late 70's, a Roman bath in Bath, England [1] (see photo below) was found to be contaminated with an amoeba that caused fatal Menningitis in bathers.

- These baths were drained and decontaminated of a deadly amoeba (a one celled animal) about 20 years ago, after some swimmers contracted fatal Menningitis. Inflammation of the Meninges (the membranes that cover the brain) of the brain can also be viral or bacterial, and is often fatal. The incoming ground water was also carbon dated and found to be far older than expected. These baths are continuously fed from underground acquifers many miles across, where water moves very, very slowly. The water source at the bath was traced to the nearby mountains. Scientists expected the water to be perhaps 100 years old, but found it to be more than one thousand years old. The deeper the ground water, the older it usually is. The waters at the ancient Roman bath truly re-define the term "old water." [6]. Acquifer water is very resistant to drought, but may not be resistant to over – pumping. Ground water can ony be drawn at a rate equal to or less than it is being replenished. This replenishment is from underground or above ground natural sources. No one on earth needs the UN to tell them that. But as we shall see later, the UN thinks they know best for the entire planet.

- WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE – BUT IT WILL NO LONGER BE YOURS TO USE FREELY
-
- Almost all people receive their water either from a lake, stream, river, or well. Water wells in America's past were hand dug and often just a few feet deep. Surface water and rain kept them almost constantly filled. But the water table has been dropping for hundreds of years. Back in the 1980s, a home we rented in western NY state had a 4ft. deep hand dug well dating back to 1820. This well was unused for many years. Into the very same same well another well was drilled. The modern well is 600 ft. deep, and requires a two stage 1Hp. submersible pump to bring the water to the surface. This home was located close to a tiny town named Springwater, so-named because of the high water quality in the area even for deep wells. The above story about a deep well is a perfect example of the dramatically dropping water table, even though Springwater is far from any desert area. In the southwestern US, water wells 2,000 feet deep or more are not uncommon.
