Look down at the bottom of the page. Notice how many follow this crap. None. Zero. Ziltch.

Who won?

My counter shows 7. I'm sorry pstarr....has your fragile state affected your ability to read numbers now? Geez man, I am so sorry. I didn't realize how tough things must have been since peak oil last summer on the true believers...the shock to the system when the horrifying knowledge of peak oil inconsequential wiggled into their consciousness.



New Orleans is ahead, the game isn't over yet, but its a good one.

OH JESUS, I'm sorry, noticing that Monday night football is still happening, on TV's run on electricity no less, this far into the peak oil world, post-Olduvai collapse and all...HOLY CRAP WHAT A THROW THAT WAS BY BREES!!!!!

FINALLY, the Truth and nothing but the Truth.
Yes Peak Planet, even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

No shortage of water in Venezuela.

In the last three decades it has been observed a dramatic reduction
of water supply for urban and agricultural uses in Venezuela which is due to the steadily destruction of forests, in particular in the central-north-eastern zone where dwells 90% of the population (FAO, 1993; Centeno, 2001). Thus, in the 70s, in Venezuela, 245,000 hectares were deforested each year, and in the 80s that figure rose dramatically to 600,000 hectares per year (Centeno,2001). In addition and according to FAO, Venezuela had a rate of deforestation for the period 1991 to 1995 twice that of Brazil and Colombia respectively, and thrice that of Perú (FAO, 1997).
For the period 1990-1995 the destruction of Venezuelan forests continued to a rate of 500,000 hectares each year (Centeno, 2001).
If this rate of deforestation is kept for the next decades, Venezuela will become a desert in less than a century (Centeno, 2001), which obviously will have dramatic consequences for the supply of water, either for agricultural or domestic use as for hydroelectric power.
Unfortunately, In the face of this severe destruction of forests there is not a vigorous official program oriented to monitor, control and to preserve the environment in the watershed of most Venezuelan river systems. Thus, the process of deforestation with an anthropogenic origin also increases the process of land erosion, which simultaneously causes that sediments are removed and carried by rivers into water reservoirs leading to a reduction in their lifetime.

CONCLUSIONS
- There is a steady process of pollution and contamination of most
water systems in Venezuela.
- In the last three decades national governments have shown great concern about the damage caused by humans to rivers, water reservoirs, lakes and aquifers, which have led to the approval of numerous laws and decrees in order to limit or control such damage. Nonetheless, those laws are not enforced and crimes against the ecosystems are a daily problem.
- Most water reservoirs that supply drinking water to many Venezuelan cities show high levels of pollution with pesticides
and fertilizers due to its excessive use in agriculture and livestock practices.
- In the last decade it has been detected a constant increase in the rate of deforestation, which is leading to the rapid destruction of tropical forests, to erosion, and to a high reduction in availability of fresh water for urban centers.
- Some programs of control of water pollution are been applied in few areas in Venezuela and so far few Venezuelan cities have a sewage-treatment plant to treat the used waters before dumping them into a river or lake.
