The boiling point of water (and all other liquids) is directly related to the barometric pressure. For example, on the top of Mt. Everest water boils at about 68 °C (154 °F), compared to 100 °C (212 °F) at sea level. Conversely, water deep in the ocean near geothermal vents can reach temperatures of hundreds of degrees and remain liquid.

Colette, a very hip and handsome store on the fashionable Rue St. Honore in Paris has the largest and most successful water bar yet created. A long sleek wooden bar with overtones of a sushi bar design is where over 90 different brands are sipped, swirled and swallowed. Staff are outfitted in black tee shirts emblazoned with "eau-yeah" across the chest.

Though the current aridity of the Middle East is no doubt due in part to changes in climate, still, the development of water resources has somehow sufficed - at least barely - until now, to support population growth. The area of Palestine now supports over 9 million persons, more than it ever did in history, and at a higher standard of living than ever before.
