Man has through the ages sought in vain for am imergency elisit of life,the divine amritha,a draught of which was throught to confer immortlity.But the true elixit of life lies near our hands.For it is the commonest of all liquids,plain water! i remember one day standing on the line which seperates the Libyan Desert from the valley of the Nile in Egypt.On one side was visible a sea of billowing sand without a speack of green or a single living thing any where visible on it.On the other side lay one of the greatest most fertile and densely populated areas to be found anywhere on the earth ,teeming with life river itself brough downas the finest silt in its flood through the ages in through which the Nile flows in to the sea.Egypt,infact was made by its river .Its ancient civilization was created and is substained by the life-giving waters which come down year after year with unfailing regularity.
