I have heard people say that future battles will not be fought over Revenge or Religion, but over Water, perhaps this may be true.
As a nation, we are on a perpetual swing with water, there is either too little and we are in drought, or there is too much and we are in flood. When the country is on fire we need water, and when the crops are dry it’s pumped from our creeks and rivers. Clean water is essential for survival, finding the perfect balance is a challenge.
This water bottle is part of our private collection, a humble unassuming item that I have thought about often.
Many of us take a water bottle to work, have a spare in the car, pack one for the kids in their school bag. It is an essential part of our kit, something we have all carried from time to time, a simple vessel that links us to the past and prepares us for the future.
