ABSTRACT
Here is something to think about as celebrations to greet the dawn of the new millennium or New Age get going. Before that midnight comes around, about 27 million of the world citizens - currently living and yet to be born - will have died because of water scarcity and water-borne and water-based diseases. At the rate of 25,000 deaths per day, more people, mostly infants and young children, will perish in the next three years than have been killed in all the wars in this century.
