  global water crisis

  It is said that by 2025 over one third of our world will not have water. Cliamte change is only but one factor in causing this, and currently 1 billion people worldwide do not have enough potable water for drinking, sanitation, bathing, agriculture, etc. Wars over water are also breaking out in places like Kenya, Somalia, India, and even in Mexico, with this problem even reaching into our own country. My question to Al Gore then is, what does he believe is the most efficient and effective way to handle this crisis in regards to providing enough clean safe water to meet the rising demands of rural communities and also countries like ours without the privatisation that has actually exacerbated this crisis? What steps should governments be taking to prepare for this crisis that is only getting worse in places like China, South Ameica, Africa, and the Middle East? We can surely do without oil, but we cannot live without water. Also, if you get a chance, please tell him what an inspiration he has been to me and so many others who consider his work on this issue to be where he should be now.
  Thanks!
