“…Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink…”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
We could find ourselves echoing the words of the Ancient Mariner if we don't pay close attention to our precious water supply. Unlike seabirds, human bodies lack the ability to desalinate sea water, and most of the water on our planet is in the oceans – a whopping 99 percent of it. Only the remaining 1 percent is usable by humans. And that tiny share is in peril.
