In a surprise move last night, Buffy joined the other 6 cats already on the bed by climbing onto my head. She then proceeded to do her “happy paws” on my scalp, which of course, woke me up. It didn’t awaken me because it was painful or uncomfortable but because it has been weeks since the vampire kitty has been able to “have the neck” –she is generally too frightened of the other cats to come near when they are about and, since they’ve learned how to open the bedroom door, they are always about. So after my initial “ah yay Buff Buff” thought, my thoughts turned to what everyone else thinks about when awoken at 4 a.m.: global water resources.

What? Doesn’t everyone else think about this issue in the wee hours of the morning?

For those of you who don’t know, our region is in the midst of a quite severe drought that has been going on for the past 4 years. We’ve had way less rainfall and snowfall than we generally get and far far less than we need in this arid desert region. For those who don’t know, right now the mid-west in the U.S. is getting far more rainfall and snowfall than they usually get and far far more than they need –in fact, they are being seriously flooded with lots of loss of life and damage to property and so forth occurring. The U.K. also got hit with severe flooding this year.

So my 4 a.m. thoughts ran something like this: Such a shame that those poor people are being flooded and us poor people are water-deprived. They’ve gotten more water in the last 2 weeks than we’ve gotten in a full year. All that lovely water is running amok in people’s houses and then will eventually drain out to the sea and become salty and even of less use than when it is destroying property and washing out roads. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were some way to move all that water from places it isn’t needed to places that it is? If our global warming trends and climate changes continue, at some point water will be worth more than oil and will go for a pretty penny. Then I fell back asleep.

This morning, however, the 4 a.m. thought was still with me. Why don’t we come up with ways of capturing water from places that are getting more than enough, thank you very much, and moving it to places that are parched? This would benefit both the “you will be flooded else” people and the people who are going to soon need to cut down on the number of showers they take else.
