LETTER: It's time to preserve water worldwide

Read “To the Last Drop” in the August National Geographic. If you don’t have a copy, go to the library.

Groundwater reserves are being depleted ALL OVER THE WORLD!

Here, in the U.S., the Oglala Aquifer stretches across the Midwest from Texas to South Dakota.

In the last 60 YEARS it has been pumped out faster than rain and snow can replenish it. Many areas have been exhausted — others are lowering faster ever year.

Bottled water is an extremely poor excuse to pump our water out.
