Water crisis: world heads for ‘water bankruptcy’ warns World Economic Forum report
Reminder - World Water Day- March 22
In 2009, the focus of World Water Day on March 22 will be on transboundary waters: sharing water, sharing opportunities.
http://www.worldwaterday.org/
Water crisis: world heads for ‘water bankruptcy’ warns World Economic Forum report
http://www.irc.nl/page/46786
Many places in the world are on the verge of "water bankruptcy" following a series of regional water "bubbles" over the past 50 years that fuelled economic growth, according to a new report [1] by the World Economic Forum (WEF). This leads to a structural problem in the way water is managed across the global economy.
Some of the highlights of the forecast include:
The majority of the glaciers of the Himalayas and Tibet, which are a source of water for more than 2 billion people, will disappear by 2100 under current trends.
70 major rivers around the world are close to being totally drained in order to supply water for irrigation systems and reservoirs.
Within two decades, water will become a mainstream theme for investors; for many, water is already a better "pick" than oil. With good regulation, this will enable much more financing to be mobilized to invest in water infrastructure and technology.
The report was presented at the WEF Annual Meeting held in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, from 28 January to 1 February 2009. At the meeting, Margaret Catley-Carlson chaired a special session on "The Politics of Water". “By far the most controversial issue was the need to recognize water as a scarce commodity. All participants agreed that pricing is as economically necessary as it is politically risky”, the session summary report [2] stated.

Gov. Schwarzenegger Takes Action to Address California’s Water Shortage
Gov. Schwarzenegger Takes Action to Address California’s Water Shortage
Proclaims State of Emergency, Directs Government to Utilize Resources, Help People
To combat California’s third consecutive year of drought, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today proclaimed a state of emergency and ordered immediate action to manage the crisis. In the proclamation, the Governor uses his authority to direct all state government agencies to utilize their resources, implement a state emergency plan and provide assistance for people, communities and businesses impacted by the drought.
“Even with the recent rainfall, California faces its third consecutive year of drought and we must prepare for the worst - a fourth, fifth or even sixth year of drought,” Governor Schwarzenegger said. “Last year we experienced the driest spring and summer on record and storage in the state’s reservoir system is near historic lows. This drought is having a devastating impact on our people, our communities, our economy and our environment - making today’s action absolutely necessary. This is a crisis, just as severe as an earthquake or raging wildfire, and we must treat it with the same urgency by upgrading California’s water infrastructure to ensure a clean and reliable water supply for our growing state.”
The Governor’s order directs various state departments to engage in activity to provide assistance to people and communities impacted by the drought. The proclamation:
Requests that all urban water users immediately increase their water conservation activities in an effort to reduce their individual water use by 20 percent Directs the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to expedite water transfers and related efforts by water users and suppliers Directs DWR to offer technical assistance to agricultural water suppliers and agricultural water users, including information on managing water supplies to minimize economic impacts and implementing efficient water management practices Directs DWR to implement short-term efforts to protect water quality or water supply, such as the installation of temporary barriers in the Delta or temporary water supply connections Directs the Labor and Workforce Development Agency to assist the labor market, including job training and financial assistance Directs DWR to join with other appropriate agencies to launch a statewide water conservation campaign calling for all Californians to immediately decrease their water use Directs state agencies to immediately implement a water use reduction plan and take immediate water conservation actions and requests that federal and local agencies also implement water use reduction plans for facilities within their control In particular, the order directs that by March 30, 2009, DWR shall provide an updated report on the state’s drought conditions and water availability. According to the proclamation, if the emergency conditions have not been sufficiently mitigated, the Governor will consider additional steps. These could include the institution of mandatory water rationing and mandatory reductions in water use; reoperation of major reservoirs in the state to minimize impacts of the drought; additional regulatory relief or permit streamlining as allowed under the Emergency Services Act; and other actions necessary to prevent, remedy or mitigate the effects of the extreme drought conditions.
DWR and California’s Department of Food and Agriculture will also recommend, within 30 days, measures to reduce the economic impacts of the drought, including but not limited to water transfers, through-Delta emergency transfers, water conservation measures, efficient irrigation practices, and improvements to the California Irrigation Management Information System.
Last week, DWR announced that California’s severe drought had prevented it from increasing its State Water Project (SWP) delivery allocations for the first time since 2001. This year’s allocation as of February is at just 15 percent of SWP contractor’s requests. This is only the second time in SWP history that the February allocation has been this low.
The drought conditions and water restrictions are causing additional devastating economic and business losses. Agricultural revenue losses exceed $300 million to date and could exceed $2 billion in the coming season, with a total economic loss of nearly $3 billion in 2009.

Mantra (OTCBB:MVTG) Signs Exclusive Option Agreement for License to Mine Wastewater
Mantra Signs Exclusive Option Agreement for License to Mine Wastewater
Mantra To Feature Electro-Reduction of Carbon Technology at Open House Investor Reception on Friday, February 27th, 2009.
SEATTLE, Feb. 27 - Due to overwhelming support and interest at last week's Global Chinese Financial Forum, Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCBB: MVTG, FSE: 5MV) is pleased to announce it will be holding an open house reception at the Kemetco Research Friday, Feb 27th, 2009. Larry Kristof, President and CEO of Mantra, will be onsite featuring live demonstrations of the company's Electro-Reduction of Carbon (ERC) technology, and to talk one-on-one with members of the investing community. In addition to technical demonstrations, Mr. Kristof will also be sharing with investors the company's strategic growth strategy in its effort to become an industry leader over the next five years.
Mr. Kristof comments: "It is with great pleasure that we open our doors to the investing community to provide a first-hand look at Mantra's ERC technology. It is very rare that investors are given the opportunity to see up close and in person the technologies underlying their investments, and I am quite confident that all of those in attendance will be fascinated by the intricate performance of Mantra's ERC reactor."
Kemetco Research Inc. is located at Unit #445, 5600 Parkwood Way, Richmond, BC Canada, V6V 2M2. Reception hours are from 4:00-7:00 pm PMT on Friday February 27th.
Mantra Signs Exclusive Option Agreement for License to Mine Wastewater
Technology
Mantra is pleased to announce that has just signed an Exclusive Option Agreement with Synergy BioMetals Recovery Systems Inc. to license its Mine Wastewater Technology. This technology effectively converts acid mine drainage into clean water with a neutral pH- suitable for release into the environment. This technology represents a significant new opportunity for Mantra and its shareholders, and it will be on-site for display and discussion at today's Investor Reception. The parties are obligated to negotiate the terms of the acquisition in good faith until March 31, 2009. This deadline may be extended to May 31, 2009 through the payment of CAD $5,000 to Synergy BioMetals Recovery Systems Inc.
About Mine Wastewater
The US Environmental Protection Agency ranks mining as the United States' top toxic polluter, reporting more toxic releases annually than any other sector. Acid generation occurs naturally in the mining process as waste rock and metal tailings are exposed to water and oxygen. The result is contaminated, toxic water that has serious ramifications on the local environment if left untreated. The EPA estimates that over 40% of US western waterways are contaminated by mining activities.
About ERC:
The ERC process, defined as the Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon dioxide, combines captured carbon dioxide with water to produce high value materials, such as formic acid and formate salts, which are conventionally obtained from the thermochemical processing of Fossil Fuels. However, ERC has an advantage over the established thermochemical methods for converting carbon dioxide to liquid fuels.
While thermochemical reactions must be driven at relatively high temperatures that are normally obtained by burning fossil fuels, ERC operates at near ambient conditions and is driven by electric energy that can be taken from an electric power grid supplied by hydro, wind, solar or nuclear energy.
MVTG also expects that the complementary nature of ERC and the electro-oxidation process that drives fuel cells may make it possible to use ERC in a regenerative fuel cell cycle, where CO(2) is converted into a fuel that is consumed in the fuel cell. The company is also exploring ERC applications for the production of steel and fuel additives.
About Mantra Venture Group Ltd.
Mantra, through its group of sustainable energy, carbon reduction and consumer product subsidiaries, is active in the green technology marketplace with an innovative, multi-faceted approach focused on profitability through sustainability. By aggressively seeking out new technologies and innovating solutions for a cleaner earth for everyone, Mantra intends to provide a highly profitable and, more importantly, socially and environmentally responsible investment for its shareholders.
Mantra is a public company quoted on the OTC BB under the symbol MVTG and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol EDV 5MV.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this press release are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties.
