Technology can bring convenience, progress, and a lot of ease, but it will never replace one human need that is “water”. Without it, no machine would whir, no crops would grow, no lungs would take breath. Power is electricity; survival is water. As we develop our societies of progress, we must remember that our hierarchy of needs still binds us, water is the true lifeblood of the Earth, and the commodity to which all others, even electricity, must bow.
