The Life-Sustaining Drink Potable water is a life-sustaining drink that is pure enough to be consumed without harming yourself in the process. The demand for fresh water is very high, making potable water a scarce resource. Sources of water supply include: rainfall, ground water and the sea. In most developed countries, it is common to find water supply networks supplying clean water to households. Locally we mainly use reverse osmosis which is a filtration method that removes many types of large molecules and ions from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane. Unfortunately this consumes vast amounts of energy. This resource must not be wasted and people should appreciate every single drop of it. In Malta we rely on reverse osmosis far too much and new methods to obtain pure water in a more efficient way must be researched.

My friend and I took this photo when we were at Delimara. It is really the limit that we want plants to learn to use the computer! As the flowers cannot be bothered with learning the ECDL this computer will go to waste. Then as waste this computer will harm the natural environment. Without this computer the scenery full of flowers would improve. To save the plants from computer fanatics, persons can be employed to keep watch in these areas. If they catch anyone not respecting the plants they will get a fine. The local council will put signs that the plants do not want to learn the computer and if anyone is caught trying to force the plants against their will they will have to face the consequences. Action has to be taken so that our countryside maintains its natural identity. Leave them plants alone!
