The children of tomorrow probably won't understand what it's like to have as much water as you want from the tap or what it's like to have so much food available all the time or to be able to run the lights and ac all day long.

@Eternity I don't think there is much danger of those who have water now ever running short except by reason of mismanagement. The problem is that those who are currently short of water are likely to remain so or have even less.

Unless the population near me goes up by a factor of ten I don't think I will ever be short of water. If all the water that falls on the kommune in which I live were collected we would have nearly eight tonne of water per person per day. The Norwegian average use is 0.2 tonne per person per day.
