Thousands of people will join World Water Week in Stockholm this week. It's the world's most important annual water event, and its importance will only grow in the years to come. Water is a bit like climate change; until recently, it was mainly the experts who worried about too much or too little fresh water, especially for the near future. Meanwhile, those living in the global south who have already experienced water and drought extremes didn't get the attention they needed in the media or international politics to solve their problems.
Thank you, Alexander, for bringing the importance of the water dilemma.
I hope we the peoples can learn to be (happy) preppers in time. One of the 'must learn skills', is to be proactively prepared, which, by the way, I think can be a very costly $$$ lesson. The average person has about 3000lbs of belongings. In my case, I'm responsible for about 1000lbs., the size of a horse. Can you imagine toting that around?
Survivalism is a social movement of individuals or groups who proactively prepare for emergencies, including natural disasters, as well as disruptions to social, political, or economic order. Wikipedia
An ominous lament and warning from long ago. The signs of the global water crisis are everywhere and demand global attention and urgent response. Your words ‘water means life’ are undeniable.
A brilliant piece that heralds what lies ahead if leaders worldwide do not recognize the imminent effects of a world without essential water.
Your history and experience with water, both too much and not enough, make your voice worth listening to and heeding the call to action.
You’ve expertly written a valuable piece combining your Camino Francés observations as well as the extreme conditions almost every country is experiencing. Well done!
Thank you for your most important work, Alexander! To your point, California and other western U.S. have declared "mega-drought," and basically, they have no remedial plans. Telling resident not to water lawns is absurd at this point. Lake Mead's water level is so low that skeletons and sunken boats are surfacing. Again, thank you.

I have already been very frugal with water for a long time, and somewhat prepared for fire
I’m stunned that one can cross the Loire River by foot. Dumbfounded. Simply mindboggling.
It’s so disappointing and disturbing that so many people continue to deny we’re living in a worldwide climate crisis.
Are you back to your familiar daily routines pre-pilgrimage? Have you returned to see your little furrend?
“If you see me, cry."
