Florida Aquifers are being pumped so much that springs, wetlands and lakes are drying up. Hopefully something can come about the effort to develop an orderly move toward new and more-costly sources of water, such as the St. Johns River and even the Atlantic Ocean.

Water for people is definitly a worthy ally for us. The people there allow everyone in developing countries access to clean and fresh water. I learned last year many people have to walk miles in harsh reigions with predators. This organization definitly trys to change that and it is why we need them for our mission.
