Peter Gleick, president of the Pacific Institute, an environmental research organization in San Francisco says "There are limits to how much water we can get and use, and how we use it and where we use it,"

Peter Gleick says"People think of water as a renewable resource, and mostly it is. But there are very important nonrenewable stocks of water that society depends on."

Su Gao, water analyst at Bloomberg New Energy Finance says “Water will be China’s “next growth dilemma,”.

A team of climatologists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the U.S. Geological Survey, writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences say “Drought will become more extreme call[ing] into question whether we can sustain the water resources that we have come to depend upon in the 20th century.”.

Demand for water used in the extraction process, called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, will jump 10-fold by 2020, and double again by 2030, said Robert Mace, a deputy executive administrator of the Texas Water Development Board. That may be more water than the region’s depleted aquifers and the Rio Grande can supply.

Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
Credibility of Source:

 The article states that we are running out of usable water in places that it is needed. Places like Las Vegas, china, and Egypt are said to be having a water problem due to low snow and rain fall, and the climate change. A result of this is that either water will become more expensive in the places where it is scares or strict regulations or new technology will help us conserve our clean water.
