From MIT World
"Rafael Bras, a professor of civil and environmental engineering who pioneered the field of hydrologic science, is MIT's James R. Killian Jr. Faculty Achievement Award winner for 2008-2009."
“It covers 70% or so (of the planet), but even more, water in the hydrology cycle sets the environment, makes life on Earth feasible, and whether we like it or not, we depend completely on it. It is the circulatory system of Earth, it is the lymphatic fuel of Earth.”
Rafael Bras
Along with air
Another thing we all share,
Have a word for
a need for
And belongs to all Life
No One owns the right to it
Yet all are responsible
to hold those accountable for damaging it
Those are We
