Pag* 10 Tha Daily Bannar Greaneastla, Indiana Thursday, September 2,1965 Water Crisis Confronts Nation Immediate Action Being Urged NEW YORK (UPI) — The i are water rich but facilities
severe drought that has struck the Northeast and some other sections of the country in the last several years is just a sample of conditions to come and only a complete change in planning water-saving measures can forestall a national water crisis. That s the word from Erik Jonsson, Mayor of Dallas, Tex., in an interview while in New York to confer with water-in-dustry officials about the Conference on the Super-City of Tomorrow, which will be held in Dallas Sept. 23. The danger is not that the nation is running out of water, Jonsson said. The real crisis is a shortage of the pipes, pumps, treatment and transmission facilities to bring water from where it is to where it isn't. “In short,’’ said Jonsson, "we
poor.” The Mayor blamed the shortage on increased demand for water, due to several factors: the population explosion; higher levels of education that promote greater personal hygiene; and rising incomes that result in more and more people being able to afford a host of waterusing household conveniences like washing machines, dishwashers, garbage disposals, air and even backyard swimming pools. The upconung Conference on the Super-City of Tomorrow will cover every aspect of city planning, Jonsson said. It is the third such meeting in a series sponsored by the National Water Institute, the American Water Works Association and the Water Pollution Control Federation to alert the nation to the
<K«d for long-range planning on urban problems. In addition to water supply and treatment, subjects embrace transportation, schools, municipal finance and utilities. The first two conferences were held in New York City, Oct. 30, 1963, and Los Angeles, June 24, 1964. Right now, each person in the average American home uses from 60 to 75 gallons of water a day, Jonsson said. Every year, the amount increases another gallon per person. With these figures in mind, he said, consider that the U. S. population will increase from the present 190 million to 260 million by 1980. That means 70 million more people in 15 years to draw on available water supplies. So the current drought — felt in many parts of the country — actually may prove to be the proverbial “blessing in disguise,” said Jonsson. It may wake up the nation to the need for comprehensive, long-range planning now. Only then, will we have the facilities to meet the water requirements of our exploding population tomorrow,
he Mid. Jonsson pointed to the severe droughts in Dallas of the early 1950’s that staggered the city but resulted in a long-range solution to be carried out in steps to meet the water supply needs of the entire Dallas area through the year 2.000. Thus, Dallas today has plenty of water. Moreover, the system will be capable of delivering more than 500 million gallons daily to serve a predicted population of almost 2.5 million people by the turn of the century, Jonsson said.
•xpectcd. The bill would more than double the total cost of programs originally requested by President Johnson. The House has already approved a similar measure, although its version only projected spending levels for a single year as opposed to the Senate bill’s five years. Key provisions of the bill center on student aid programs,
including; the first federally financed undergraduate scholarships.
