Consider this….
Water from Fiji is hard to get in Fiji while the same Fiji water (now bottled and under the Fiji brand name) is easy to get in Brooklyn, US.
During the Texas floods, there is flood water everywhere, but there is still the need for the state to ship water in, both for drinking and fire-fighting purposes.
He said the flooding washed out two bridges and also tore the back wall off the funeral home. About two-thirds of the city was without water because of damage to the water treatment plant. Bottled water had been requested from the state as well as water tankers to help fight fires that may result from spilled fuel.
Then there’s George Clooney who is able to raise millions for Darfur, but is limited as to what he can do with that money.
“There are only a few things we can do — protect them where we can, and provide food, water, health care and counseling,” he said. “We’re just trying to get them to live long enough to get to the next step.”
So it’s not just money, water, or any one commodity that is needed to solve a crisis situation. It’s also being able to get what is needed, to the right people, and in a form that they can use it, for it to be truly a solution to a problem.
