Letter written in the year 2070

This is the year 2070 I have just turned 50, But my appearence is of somebody of 85. I suffer from serious kidney problems because I do not drink enough WATER ..,

I'm afraid I do not have much time left to live. I'm one of the oldest people in this society.

Before, woman had a beautiful hair ..,

Now we have to shave our heads to keep them clean without the use of water. Then my father washed his car with water coming out of a horse pipe, now my son does not believe that water could be wasted that way.

Industry came virtually to a standstill and unemployment reached dramatic propotions. Desalination plants are the main source of employment and workers receive part of their salary in drinkable water..,

I remember there were SAVE WATER warnings on out side posters, radio and TV, but no body paid attention. we thought that water was to last forever.., Now all the Rivers, Lakes, Dams and underground water beds are either dry or contaminated..,

I remember when i was a child of 5. everything was very different then.
There were lots of trees in the parks, houses with beautiful gardens and i could enjoy having a shower of half an hour.

Nowerdays, we use towels with mineral oil to clean our skin..,

In some countries, where there are still some green zones crossed by rivers, these are guarded by heavy armed soldiers.

Water became very coveted treasure, more precious than gold and diamonds.

Now our children pay a very high price..,
