Good morning,

For a long time environmental experts have been warning
that a scarcity of fresh water will be one of the biggest
problems facing the world in decades to come. With that
in mind a recent story of water rationing in the capital
city of Venezuela takes on a more dire significance.

Please scroll down for some excerpts from the story on

Residents of the Venezuelan capital face cuts in water
service for as much as 48 hours per week, after the govern-
ment imposed rationing to stem a 25 percent shortfall in
the city's supply.

Officials said cuts in water service were to be staggered
throughout Caracas through the duration of the current dry
season, which is not expected to end until May 2010.

Weather forecasters blame the "El Nino" weather phenomenon,
saying the periodic weather system has markedly reduced
rainfall and created drought conditions.

Others blame the shortage on poor government management of
the country's water resources, while President Hugo Chavez
faulted the excesses of capitalism.

"What will the rich fill their swimming pools with?" the
country's leftist leader asked recently.

"With the water that is denied inhabitants in the poor
neighborhoods," he said, blaming the lack of sufficient
water on "capitalism -- a lack of feeling, a lack of
humanity."
