Today again we are just chilling in our hotel drinking some bottled water. We were just talking about how funny it is how the Middle East surrounded by many bodies of water but water is scarce there. Well we are really glad that we have plenty of water in the U.S. because if we didn't we would probably have many wars like they do here.Well we research it and the reason is that water is so scarce her is because of all the deserts and the water isn't fresh water. We though back on it and thought we were so stupid not know that. We also learned that they have about 12 million people but only get the amount of rain fall Phoenix, Arizona gets a year. They have to irrigate water to keep their plants alive and they usually get water from underground to drink if they don't live near the Tigris or Euphrates rivers. We hope the United State never have to do that completly but I bet some places like Arizona might have to.
Have a great Day and continue to check out our blog
