Water

 I think the hottest day was yesterday. It was 32 degrees Celsius and no amount of electric fan could alleviate the heat. High humidity. I advised my hubby to water-sprinkle the lawn outside and that at least could moisten the atmospheric situation. However, watering the lawn nowadays is prohibited as in water conservation is being implemented in our city. Once every other day is supposedly the practical way but no longer applies. The water is so precious now that every household is allowed to sprinkle their lawn once every week. No wonder the lawns, and vegetation in our neighborhood are getting tinder dry. Our lawn turf is still green with few streaks of brown-yellow spots. It's okay there's nothing we can do with restriction especially when water is involve. 

Did you hear about water in Canada will be on "metered" billing in the future? For what and why?

I remember way back when we first moved to Fort McKinley and how my family built our first family home and how we love being there because of the abundance of acacia trees, the lush green vegetation, the freshness of the air, the breeze freely flowing and the houses built like rows in perfect order arrangement following strict regulations about building requirements as in military ordinance, water flows freely from the faucet to the shower heads. Water is in abundance. Years passed by...just within six years suddenly water became hot commodity and water not flowing anymore in those pipelines and that caused so much chaotic and conflict. The population of people and new infrastructures within that area caused the restriction in the water system and the only possible solution is the ration of water. There are certain schedule or time schedule where certain designated areas where homes are allowed to store water for their drinking. washing, and how they want their water is used. Would you believe such process will happen when you are regularly paying for water and you don't get the right amount? 

In a country where water is in abundance and wonder why water is restricted wonder why the cause of such restriction? 

How water is stored? How water is accumulated through the water reservoir, down to the many bodies of water: ocean, seas, river, lakes, canals, bays, to the streams to the ponds. Water evaporates and turn into air (oxygen), there will be precipitation... The evaporation and condensation and all the chemical process lead to positive and negative energy in the sky in the atmosphere suddenly thunder and lightning strikes... downpour happened like miracle and its raining once again. The heavy rain became raging storm and hurricane and there's so much water flooding the whole earth. And you think there's no water. There is so much water, the only problem is how you can turn dirty rain water into safe drinking water for everyone to be happy about.
