"[Water] is regarded as a sort of bargain basement, but I don't agree with that estimate. People don't realize that water in the liquid state is very rare in the universe. Away from Earth it is usually gas. This moisture is a blessed treasure, and it is our basic duty, if we don't want to commit suicide, to preserve it." -Jacque Cousteau, 1971
"High quality water is more than the dream of the conservationists, more than a political slogan; high quality water, in the right quantity at the right place at the right time, is essential to health, recreation, and economic growth." -Edmund S. Muskie, former US Secretary of State, 1971 |
"Water is essential for all living creatures and is an important component of countless human activities. It sustains our wildlife in the streams, forests and wetlands of Canada" -Environment and Climate Change Canada, 2007 |
