<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00" color=#000000>"Our technology gives us a false sense of security.</FONT> When we go home at night, we can turn on the faucet & have clean running water", (but in the natural systems that ultimately supply that water) "we're already at a crisis point."<BR>

<EM>McIntyre hopes the study will highlight the need for a shift in the way water resources are managed, moving from engineering solutions to protecting the natural watersheds that keep people and ecosystems healthy</EM>. (ref. <STRONG><EM>Discover</EM></STRONG> Jan./Feb. 2011, p. 63)<BR> </body>
