Exposure to salty water can rob women of their reproductive organs and pregnancies.

    Interesting read.

    Even without the saltwater problem, drinking from the end of the Ganges sounds pretty bad considering how polluted that river is.

    I have a hard time understanding the mentality of people having kids while complaining, there’s not enough fresh water.

    I suppose it’s good that most of the local water supply here in ca comes from mountain snowpack melts.

      I have a hard time understanding the mentality of people having kids while complaining, there’s not enough fresh water.

      I mean for one, people don’t always have a choice about having children if they can’t access birth control.

      And there are cultural pressures that mean that having children is less of a choice and more a pre-ordained stage of life.
