The Current Problem

X+Y= -W where: x and y are water production/maintenance costs and w is the total debt to produce water; is mathematically incorrect.

The New Paradigm: When x+y= water Then x+y= |w|

Water has a scientifically demonstrable absolute value. A positive integer.It is applicable through rules of sovereignty and economics.

GNP will now have a minimum value of x+y=|w|. This value is the result of the complete distribution process.|w| produces coined money which trickles out locally and is compounded upon by free enterprise.

• Household costs lowered through the removal of User fee• Local economy boosted by influx of monies through the

local infrastructure labor and supply market increases tax base.

• Regional tax revenues increase as local tax structure stabilizes

• National tax revenue increase results in bank payoff• Nations become economically stable

Fighting Urban Poverty

Instituting an absolute value will increase access, quality and quantity of water and waste water services. This combination can drastically change the health index of a community; leading to• Lower Mortality Rate• Lower Tax Expenditures on Mortality related problems. • Higher Labor Production• Sharper Thinking

Ideology Ideology has kept this solution from emerging. The U.S. Declaration holds that “we are endowed with certain unalienable rights” entitled by the laws of Nature and Nature’s God”. Money is in itself unnatural. A water user fee is just such a violation. It leads to indignation, entitlement water use, and conflict.Unfettered access will lead to a natural instinctive use of water. Coupled with education; water conservation will become second nature through nature and nature’s God.
