World Water Day

Today is, was, or will be, according to your position on the planet, World Water Day. I have always thought that water should be free, by right, ... there to drink, wash, swim and play in.  Furthermore, it should be clean.  It should neither be contaminated with pesticides or disease, nor should it be dangerously radioactive over thousands of years either from uranium mining, tritium leaks from nuclear power plants, or radioactive contamination from  leaking storage pools.
We are told that it is one of our most precious commodities, that we have to save it.  But perhaps we should save it from ourselves.
