Considering we are facing the "worst drought in recorded history" it's not a question of WHETHER we need water. Rather, it's a question of how to obtain it - and quick. Did you hear about our national student genius? The 16-year old Kiara Nirghin who has potentially solved the drought crisis? She used a polymer that she created herself from the combination of an orange peel and avocado skin. In doing so, she created a material that is capable of storing hundreds of times its weight in water. That means farmers can maintain their crops even in times of drought. Google has picked up on this little genius and if her science fair project is approved it could solve a world-wide problem!
