Water Cool Clear WATER Sons of the Pioneers Diane that statement is true in the Alps, the mountians northern areas, but much of Italy and France and Greece and France and England etc had serious water problems. In school I did a Thesis on water, that impressed me all my life. Did you know that Ceasar built an aqueduct to travel water across much of Europe because of bad water conditions. Bits of this Aqueduct are still standing in various places in Europe. It was the longest known developed water system ever created. Water has always been a major factor in the lives of us. Bubbling springs and thermal springs and natural springs helped but not all places had these things. Same as today. Unfortunately, today they (society) are letting developers hide them cover them and destroy natural springs. We have two within 20 miles of me and both are being covered to build large expense homes in that area. Still have not figured what they are going to do to control the water. TIS truly sad. SusiCP
