" HERE was time when the

ditions are rapidly vnnishing-they are

argues now, as was the case then, that

points. The problem is. rather, how
can we get good water in sufficient
quantity, cheaply and effectively,
where 1t may be needed, |. e., into the
bathroom, the kitchen, the laundry. the
front yard, and the feed lot.
The first question TO be answered In

How much water will be needed?
