"There are now 45,000 such multipurpose dams around the world, half of them, by the way, in China. (2)_________________________________, because the Green Revolution was not just a matter of hybridization of cropping and fertilization, but needed massive amounts of water."

"We simply don't have enough water to do the economic things that we need to do with it or want to do with it for 6,500,000,000, much less than 9,000,000,000 that we are becoming."
According to the United Nations, 1,000,000,000 people around the world lack access to safe drinking water and 2,500,000,000 people lack adequate sanitation. (3)_________________________________. Solomon says he saw this inequity clearly during his 2004 visit to a rural village in southeastern Kenya, where he'd gone as a volunteer to help build a simple mud dam.
