Hydrological War ( Roy Dianon) According to science, of the total water in planet earth, only 3 percent is considered as fresh water. With reference to the 3 percent as fresh water, about 1.6 percent is locked up in the polar ice caps and glaciers. Another 0.36 percent is found underground in aquifers and wells. Only about 0.036 percent of the planet's total water supply is found in lakes and rivers. Adding up, only 1 percent remaining of the entire world's water supply is readily fit to drink. To constitute the whole earth’s surface which is covered with 70 percent water, the 97 percent is salty ocean water, which is unfit for human consum­ption. Therefore, consider carefully the next time you take a long shower or using water with no sense of concern; the next generation might not have enough water to use. Unlike fossil oil, there are no substitutes, alternatives or an improvised substitute for water. Water by design is perfect.  The most essential element of life, the element in which life began, yet too much or too little can also take life away.   And without which, life is impossible. And nature has a basic cycle with purpose and intent that the supply of water is fixed. But sad to say, water demand rises unexpectedly as the world’s population increases, whereby cities grow and societies become more urban which heightened the growth and advances of manufacturing industries. People who think that the West's intervention in Libya is just oil grab, they are largely wrong in opinion. Without regard to specific details, why they interfere, through force or threat of force, in the affairs of Libya as a nation, here are the speculations and widely liked reasons why they intervened. Britain military intervention is mainly about arms, Italy its natural gas, for the US its counter-terrorism and reconstruction contracts and for France its water. Why France is having interest on Libya’s water? In 1953, efforts to find oil in southern Libya led to the discovery of huge quantities of fresh water underground. Libya sits on a resource more valuable than oil, the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer, which is extremely large underground sea of fresh water. Colonel Gaddafi had smartly invested worth $25 billion in the Great Man-made River Project, a complex of 4,000-km long water pipeline buried beneath the desert that could transport two million cubic meters of water a day. Such an extraordinary water distribution method could turn Libya - a nation that is 95 per cent desert - into a food self-sufficient country among desert countries of the world, due to the presence of huge quantities of fresh water beneath the desert. What is alarming here besides the current intervention made by the West with Libya as a nation, this Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System considered as the world’s largest fossil water aquifer system is located underground in the Eastern end of the Sahara Desert and covers a territory over which governing power is exercise by the hand of  active military men, full of strength and powerful emotion to make war anytime if necessary by four countries in north-eastern Africa. These include the north-western Sudan, north-eastern Chad, south-eastern Libya, and most of Egypt. It will be having good possibilities of success that these countries will be more interested with water than oil as the combining demand for fresh water will exceed supply in the near future. Water will become a commodity more precious than oil. It is becoming increasingly accepted that water promises to be to the 21st century crucial commodity what oil was to the 20th century. This precious commodity will determine the wealth of nations, and has a good chance that will happen in time to come. We are  showing awareness and acceptance of reality in the coming years, where water will never reach the volumes needed to supply the people requirement, which means that, sooner rather than later, scarcity will become the dominant market condition. With this condition, war is the first thing that comes into the mind of a person for an immediate settlement of a problem. War for water will be the timeliest event that could happen after this disorder. War has been made not just a means of defense or protection but a primary means of livelihood or to generate economic activity to secure life. Unlike from the previous war the world was taken by surprise, this time it will be a slow but sure kind of war, “Hydrological war.”   As everyone knows, water is essential to life. Throughout history, wars have been fought over rights to water, and cities have been abandoned when water sources such as rivers have changed course. In Genesis 2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. Analysis identified this river as Euphrates and Tigris River, and the remaining two rivers in the course of time just banished, being the usual tendency towards change of nature, inherent in earth’s geographical changes. The forward direction of the Euphrates water is roughly of equal distance apart everywhere with respect to Tigris River. It is only after the rivers enter Iraq that they are never more than 160 km apart. In northern Iraq the Euphrates forms the western boundary of the area known as Al Jazīrah while the Tigris forms the eastern boundary. To the southeast, the sediment deposited by flowing water between the two rivers was the site of the glorious Babylonian civilization of ancient times. After flowing not beyond 40 km away from Tigris, the Euphrates splits into two branches, and comes together again 180 km away. What is surprisingly of great wonder, Euphrates and Tigris Rivers join in southeastern Iraq to form the Shatt al Arab, where the two rivers water join together and ended up into the Persian Gulf. Originally the said rivers purposely prepared to water the Garden of Eden. Today, Euphrates and Tigris River become a point of disagreement between nations that benefits the water of the said rivers. Turkey is having a dam that captures a large quantity of water for irrigation and electric usage. Because of this, a downstream effect which decreases the flow of the Euphrates is of serious concern to Syria, which has invested heavily in power generation and irrigation from its Euphrates dam. As a result of controlling the flow of Euphrates water, nations being affected, hold their temper and intense hate secretly, for the sake of world image.  Not far from what is expected, in the near future, they will possibly enter into war waiting for a proper timing to justify to the world why they will engage in war. By 2050, the United Nations estimates that at least one in four people is likely to live in a country affected by continuing or recurring shortages of freshwater. By 2050, nearly 80 % of illness in developing countries is linked to poor water and sanitization conditions. It is clear that considerably more time and more thought must be devoted to the question of how to make the best use of the very limited amount of freshwater that is actually available to us.  Without rethinking our approach to water, our chance of successfully managing the alarming water crisis is of no joke. Can you imagine how will the world react if potable water will become scarce? Thirsty. But there is more important thirst besides the physical thirst that our human nature needs but in most cases always taken for granted. Take the case of the Samaritan woman appeal to Jesus. Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and neither coming to this place to draw water John 4:5-15.  The Samaritan woman spoke seriously and heartily desired to taste this fine water Jesus offers, believing that she may never feel thirsty again once she will drink this water. Secondly, she is longing to be free from the burden and tiredness of fetching water to this well daily. Come to figure out that the well is several kilometers away from most of them. And the manner of fetching water in the olden times is to put the jar into their head. In order for the jar filled with water will not fall down, they have to carry the jar with heads up under the intense heat of the sun. Is it not tiring to imagine? But the reason she demonstrate regarding her understanding towards the living water is an exact example of man’s ignorance to God’s Kingdom. The ignorance here is simple; this natural water when consume and have been satisfied is man’s essential need to stay alive. It will quench our thirst for a while as it reaches only the shallow parts of our human nature; they are soon spent, and call for replenishing to sustain physiological changes and to address the physical demand of the body. Since that natural water could not reach the deeper wants of our being, Jesus offers the living water, that can even pierce to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart Hebrew 4:12. This is God offers from the very start until now, which no man has been keep from enjoying this offer ever since this world begins. Today God continually by saying, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” Revelation 3:20. God is constantly knocking at the door of our heart, because there is some place in the heart of man where God will fill in the emptiness of man where riches, power and fame has no capacity to satisfy the thirst and unfulfilled desire of human heart which only God can do it. But bear in mind, that this is only made possible if we truly accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior in our heart. God Bless.
