Just because you don't need an entire reservoir today doesn't mean that
you can throw all of its contents down the drain.

And the hotter or colder a place is, the fewer people live there.

irrigation to cleaning water. More interestingly, it is not necessary
for it to be drinking water, which is what some places badly lack.

Mexico City, and Lagos.

Oh wait they are among the 10 most populated cities
