We could not survive without water, both physical and spiritual. The hydrologic cycle has been uniquely designed to recycle water on Earth so it is available for our use. Have you ever considered the importance of water in the scriptures? Many scripture verses refer to water and its life-giving properties. However, pollution, mass wasting, rerouting and straightening rivers and streams, and rapid removal of rain water can have serious effects upon our streams and groundwaters. Some people suggest that in the future, wars will be fought over the acquisition and availability of fresh water. (More people in the world actually have cell phones than access to a toilet.)
