May I suggest that to combat the shortage of water in the future is for the international community to organise a campaign to stabilise the human population. I gather it is forecast that within 20 years the population will reach 9 billion and if it continues at the present rate we will be breeding ourselves off our Planet. In the meantime as we will have plenty of sea water, may I draw peoples attention to the building of desalination plants which should help countries such as Australia and Spain to keep the thirst at bay!
The website for the organization coordinating the climb is

You can actually "climb" the 19,000 foot website and see up to the minute pics and posts as they climb.
There are also some great pointers on the water crisis.
Agree with Brian. The first goal should be "Equilibrium". Through education, stabilize the population. Queen Rania's campaign "1GOAL" is the basis to build a future for the entire planet.
Investigate who is doing money with contracts for building weapons around the World. I'm sure money that should go for Education and poverty is being diverted by corrupt politicians with invested interest in keep those defence systems going on and on. Countries have money to solve all the problems. They just choose to use it "just in case the other country attack us first".
